A long cut through the central floors of Phase 1 for building of the screen wall. A rather shallow cut, 5 cm deep at the most, and it is sloping towards former space 158. North section of the cut was filled with charred deposit (unit 8401), while south section contained rubbly building material, orange clayey pieces (unit 8397). Southernmost bit was very solid, compact packing (unit 8399).
The cut itself is oval and long, stretching from the southern edge of the platform F. 162 almost to the northern edge of platform F. 169. It is parallel with central space of building 3 (F. 606).
At the beginning and the end of the cut (north and soth) the posts are of larger diameter (F. 608 and 624). The posts in between are smaller in size (see unit 8572 for description of the cuts). It was a wattle-and-daub construction, consisting of 7 main posts. A narrow ditch (15-30 cm) was dug in the beginning and after that the beds for the posts were made. The average depth of the postholes from top of the midden layer is 50/55 cm. The posts were slanting from W to E (probably because the floor was santing from E to W). The ditch wa sfilled with fine clay to fix the posts. There are traces of white plaster and brown packing at the ditch section.
