The SU is a brown accumulation layer with large rock inclusions, potentially due to a collapse. The deposit seems similar to other deposits of colluvial accumulation south of Space 8. During post-excavation study, this feature was reinterpreted as likely accumulation of soil in Space 8, exterior to the Phase 1B building.
