Elements

The ceremonial courtyard of the Palace has been exposed only in part, the southwestern corner. It includes four elements:

  1. The stone pavement.
  2. The western wall.
  3. The southern wall.
  4. The southern entrance.

Projected size

It seems plausible to think that we have a little over one quarter of the entire structure, for the following reasons:

  1. Presumed centrality of the southern entrance.
  2. Slope towards the presumed center.
