This SU was excavated after the extension of the eastern limit of the area. We did this following the discovery of a semi-circular depression; our goal in extending the limits further east was to reveal the entire eastern limit of the semi-circular feature (SU 3787). This deposit seems to have been either preparation for the road, or some deposit that gradually sunk into the cut of 3787.
