CONSTRUCTION

Method and Sequence

Room was built in an alcove after another room to the south was constructed (Structure 23-S). The north wall of the southern room was used as part of the southern boundary of this room. Another wall was built adjacent to and in alignment with the existing wall. This wall rests east of the earlier wall and extends across the front of another room (Structure 26-S). Crosswalls were added to demarcate the western and eastern boundaries of the room. The back and top of the alcove served as the north boundary and the ceiling, respectively. See masonry screens for architectural details of walls.
