Interpretations

2017-06-16 Sabian Hasani

Layer of rubble, possibly partially collapsed walls, sitting on top of a threshold and extending north into room I5 and south into the possible road. A number of large basalt stones were on top of the threshold, possibly to plug the entrance to room I5.

2016-07-26 Jason Farr

Layer of rubble, unexcavated in 2016. Appears to be related to collapse or intentional dumping. Larger basalt stones appear to sit along the wall, perhaps blocking an entrance (?).
