Interpretation SU is defined through ploughmarks on its top. It is a big layer of grayish, mixed material, not dissimilar to SU 1032 from 2010 season. It overlies a large, irregular rubble fall, and contains significant inclusions of friable red tufo just above this rubble layers, SU in places lies directly above a floor layer.
