General description of the space
Room XV is located in the West Wing. It was accessible via Room XI and directly connected with the adjacent Ceremonial Hall (Space XXVIII). Two windows on the SE wall of the room provided natural lighting to the room through the lightwell of Room XXVIII. On the other side of the room there were two structures, described by the excavator as a niche and a cist, that were found empty.
