The SU is a layer of accumulation, which seems to be the last layer post-dating the pi-shaped stone feature 2497. This was the last layer excavated in Room 1 during the 2015 season. During post-excavation study, this feature was reinterpreted as a tentative leveling fill for the construction of the floor surfaces in Space 1 during Phase 1B.
