General description of the space
Rectangular room in the Eastern Wing of the Palace, identified by the excavator as the "Queen's Hall". There are three openings at each of the three sides (NE, NW, SW) of the room (polythyra) and two window openings at the SE side to the lightwell. The NE and NW polythyron are preserved at the ground level with dimensions 3.80 (NW-SE) x 0.50 (NE-SW) and 3.00 (NE-SW) x 0.70 (NW-SE) respectively. Two openings can be indentified at the NW wall of the room (measuring 1.70 m. the SW and 0.95 m. the NE), according the present state of preservation. The preserved stone between them (stone base of a timber jamb?) measures 0.70 (NW-SE) x 0.26 (NE-SW) x 0.14 from the ground level.
