During post-excavation study, this feature was reinterpreted as either an abandonment deposit or leveling deposit sitting between the Phase 1B and 2 buildings. Because of the compressed stratigraphy between the two phases, it is not possible to isolate a single function for this deposit.

This deposit appears to be either the destruction levels from an earlier construction or an early level of floor leveling for the floors of the later structure in the area.

The SU is a possible construction level.
