This wall relates to a reorganization of the space of Room 3 after the original ashlar phase, probably connected to the obliteration of slab floor 7137 and wall 7158. It may have been planned along with new slab floor 7130 to the north, and a floor to the south of which only traces of the preparation (7135) survive. It is uncertain whether - or how far - this wall continued further east prior to the construction of wall 7079. Given the level of the foundations revealed by the excavation of floor preparation 7135, the floor surface connected with the construction of this wall to the south has been obliterated.
