Fig. 9
Simulated water content (7 years after excavation) versus the distance from the niche for the horizontal line given in Fig. 7 (right). Lines represent the desaturation case in winter (grey) and the resaturation case in summer (black). The comparison allows for the definition of a seasonally influenced desaturated zone, a long-term influenced desaturated zone and a saturated zone. The coloured lines mark the output locations of the TDR-measurements
