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 travertine slab may have acted as packing, holding some kind of post. However, until more similar cuts are excavated, the function is unclear.

The SU is a circular cut with an unknown purpose, on the western side of the 2015 Area C excavation.
