Definition The Great Temple South Exterior Wall
Description This wall at the time of building was indeed elegant in its neatly laid construction. There is no particular scheme or pattern to the laying of headers or stretchers, for both are used in its composition. This is a casemate wall and is assigned two distinct loci (exterior and interior, Locus 35) because of its differing techniques of construction. Both walls, however, were constructed at the same time.
Phase IV
Combined with All of the above, and the original doorways.
