Stage Description		Major destruction period.
Location		In the center of the Residential Quarter.
Description		Consisted of a Light Brown (Munsell 7.5 YR 6/4) soil matrix. This deep and very large locus contained a significant deposit of massive ashlars. Most of these appeared to be arch stones and wall ashlars that probably collapsed from the original architecture above. The locus itself is probably made up of washed down debris from above, possibly from a heavy rain that knocked down part of the already fragile architecture as it deposited in this area.
Phase Description		Phase IX: Major CE 363 earthquake leads to the collapse of large architectural features and the primary deposition of fluvial wash. Debris accumulates in the Shrine Room followed by major collapse. The West Walkway Wall collapses and the Residential Quarter is destroyed.
Stage		Stage 7
Phase		IX
Bottom (m)		Closing Depth: 907.006 m.
