CONSTRUCTION

Method and Sequence

Built on top of Structure 11, up against cliff face. The roof of Structure 11-S was most likely used as a platform when constructing this room. Only observable construction is sections of the east and south walls. See masonry screens for architectural descriptions of walls. The cliff overhang most likely served as the ceiling of this room.
