The SU is a layer of rocks that collapsed from a wall that was disturbed by plowing activity (particularly evident in the eastern portion of unit). During post-excavation study, this feature was reinterpreted as part of a series of collapses marking the abandonment of the area, though it was heavily disturbed by plowing in the area.
