This SU was not fully excavated in 2016. Excavation began in the north, uncovering wall 8088, then moving south less than 50 cm before excavation had to be halted due to rain and the end of the season. More work is needed, but the SU appears to be a post-abandonment colluvial accumulation similar to 8033 and 8053 (all three may, in fact, be stratigraphically equal).
