General description of the space

Room XX is located in the so-called "SW Expansion" of the palace (Rooms XVII-XXI). It is a rectangular room accessible through a "polythyron" (pier and door partition) on its NE wall. The interior of the room is divided into two parts: at the SE part there are nine shallow cists. At the NE part, a drain was uncovered under the plastered floor. The excavator identidied Room XX as an industrial space (workshop), based on its form and finds.
