General description of the ashlar course
The dimensions of the wall of Rooms XXVIII and XXIX (the NW border of the Central Court) are 18.35 x 0.67 (max) x 0.63 (from the ground level in Room XXVIII) or 0.98 m. (from the ground level in the Central Court).All the mortises are at the part of the wall corresponding to the SE wall of Room XXVIII (Ceremonial Hall). The upper poros course (where the mortises) is based on a limestone course (of rectangular blocks) which is based on the rubble stone base of the wall. The poros blocks of the 2nd course are trapezoid and the fillings between them of limestone. All the preserved mortises correspond to the SE wall of Room XXVIII and are approx. at a height of 0.83 m. from the upper level of the rubble stone base of the wall.
