Description	The West Cuneous in the Cavea with the West Scalarium Locus 8 flanking it to the south. The bottom tier of this Cuneous is a section of the Walkway that extends across the front of the Cavea. This walkway is paved with truncated wedge-shaped pavers alternating in the colors purple and white and supported by a rubble fill behind the Orchestra Retaining Wall Locus 12. Above this are four tiers of stone seating — there were originally additional tiers extending above the West Staircase 'Adyton' (see Trench 22) and the area just north of the staircase but these upper tiers were annihilated at the time of the Temple's destruction (channeled stones like those included in the seating were discovered while excavating the Fill/Debris in the West Staircase as well as in the Loci 4, 6, and 13 Fill/Debris of this Trench). The four middle tiers have channels cut into the top and face of the seats — one each in the second and third tiers, and two each in the fourth and fifth tiers. The seating tiers measure c. 0.40 m in height and c. 0.50 m in depth. The fifth tier is backed by the stone rubble that fills the space between the seating and the west face of the West Inter-Columnar Wall Locus 2. The north end of this Cuneous which formed the north wall of the west half of the Cavea was completely destroyed by the collapse of columns from the West Colonnade exposing only the large stones and rubble upon which the Cavea was founded.
