Abstract: Any hereditarily indecomposable continuum $X$ of dimension $n\geq 2$ is split into layers $B_r$ consisting of all points in $X$ that belong to some $r$-dimensional continuum but avoid any non-trivial continuum of dimension less than $r$. The subjects of this paper are the dimensional and the descriptive properties of the layers $B_r$.
