The compact finished surface would seem to suggest a floor of a later phase similar to those that have been excavated in Area F. But the irregular slope, rough preparation, high elevation, and uncertain limits make this rather less clear. If this does represent a floor, it would relate to the last phase of occupation before the building was abandoned and obliterated.
