Description (summary) 2026-06-05 pC hard gray-reddish, flaky floor with visible laminations and few embedded pottery sherds (5-10cm) was exposed in the plaza. Extendig 3.70 m southward from step 1 of ^apron1, the floor slopes from northeast to southwest. The floor was exposed at different moments in several loci, resulting in the assignment of multiple feature numbers. These features were already identified as belonging to the same floor during excavation. The floor covers ^mud1 and is located under ^floor3. The floor is damaged in the middle by ^erosion1. Directly in front of ^stair2, within the trench excavated by the German team in C2, no corresponding floor was exposed in plan or recorded in section. However, a distinct floor is visible at an elevation of 87.50 m in the eastern section of J2k100 (J6w109). Given the slight slope from east to west, this floor may correspond to ^floor2. It abuts the base of the western betili (J6f100) and step 1 of ^stair2. [Input: ZK626pC.j]
