Description This locus consists of a thick covering of gray hydraulic cement that covers the western part of the floor of Room 4. It extends 1.29 m in width in the south of Room 4 but tapers to a width of 0.61 m in the north of Room 4. However the cement extends the entire 1.07 m across the length of the room. It seems that this cement is a later addition, likely contemporary with the sluice gate in the west wall.
