Since excavation was limited to less than a meter, the depth of this locus is unknown except where it overlies Locus 2 and Locus 2 was exposed. In the southwestern corner, a depth of 878.52 m was reached while still in Locus 1, and in the center of the excavated area the soil surface was at 878.34 m, next to the top of lowest stone in the possible terracing wall.
