Description | The architects in the design of the Theatron used a single stone in the center of Locus 4 as a vertical center point. Locus 13 provides the same service on the horizontal plane. It can only be assumed that it was necessary to have a vertical center point as well as a horizontal one. This stone was removed for investigatory purposes, and later replaced. |
