Description | Locus 5 is a wall constructed of medium-large sandstone ashlars. It is located 3.5 m to the east of the Intercolumnar Wall and forms the eastern wall of the Eastern Corridor. Several patches of the decorative stucco (Locus 4) that once covered the entire wall remain in situ on the top several courses of Locus 5. Below this level little plaster remains on the wall; a large number of stucco cornice and panel fragments were found during the excavation of the corridor. Two doorways (Locus 6 and another outside the southern boundary of the trench) are set into the wall, one directly across from the Brian Staircase and the other facing the northernmost window in the East Intercolumnar Wall. |
