Description	The south wall was exposed during the excavation of the balk. It is, like the other three walls of the room, constructed of roughly hewn sandstones, wet laid irregularly with mortar, and set on bedrock. It most likely extended upward to meet and support the Central Arch. Locus 20 includes the access space for the room. The walls that line this doorway extend back approximately one meter now, which is as far as we were able to excavate safely. The doorway was covered with thin sandstone lintels; a cracked lintel is exposed in the south of the trench. It is likely that the door continued to the south face of the Inter-Columnar wall. This wall, which looks poorly constructed from inside Trench 57, is probably the inside of the south face of the Inter-Columnar wall that spans the width of the Temple. Locus 20, in turn, lines up with the north face of this wall running from east to west. The fill in between the two faces is visible in Trench 57; it is comprised of stones and dirt. It is important to note that on the western edge of the doorway, a row of blocks was laid to narrow the space. Originally, we thought this was a later narrowing of the doorway since the blocks in this row rest on a soil fill in places and suggest a hurried addition to construction. This idea was rejected for two reasons: firstly, without this additional row the entry way is not in the middle of the south wall and secondly, the walls of the doorway slope-inward in order to accommodate the length of the lintel. Without the additional row as part of the construction the inner walls of the doorway would have to slope a greater distance for which there is no evidence.
