Description | Locus 11 is the floor of the Shrine Room North Corridor comprised of small hexagonal limestone pavers of the same dimension and design as those on the floor of the Shrine Room proper. Like the Shrine Room, the pavers are cut to fit the corridors dimensions illustrated by the use of squared off pavers along the north edge. The individual pavers are held in place by a layer of mortar/plaster into which each was pressed. Overall, the pavement is in excellent condition, although some robbing is visible in the west. Locus 11 has been assigned to this stage because of its direct association with the South Perimeter Wall, Locus 7. |
