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.

The SU is a deposit of basalt stones possibly related to floor leveling or functioning as foundations for the walls. It is difficult to tell the exact function because this was an isolated deposit and it is abutting stones that are covered by wall 2256.
