| Description | Pavement of small limestone hexagonally-cut pavers, already familiar to excavators from other parts of the Great Temple site. These paving stones are 26 cm each from point to point, and about 1.6 cm thick. Only a small patch of pavement is preserved in the southeast corner of the trench, abutting the enigmatic square feature (Locus 35) and the east limestone curb (Locus 34), but it seems to run into the east balk and more of it may be preserved in this area. |
| Location | In southeast of trench. |
| Underlies | Locus 9. |
| Architectural or Soil Locus? | Architectural |
