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 deposit is associated with either destruction of an earlier phase of the building in Area C, or leveling for later floor surfaces, or a combination of both.
