NOBLEMEN'S PALACES
To the northeast of the recently discovered underground temple, are the remains
of several palaces. The size and design of these buildings indicate that the aristocracy
and high-level army and administrative officers probably occupied them. One of
these palaces, recently excavated, lies adjacent to the road and is a four-storied
structure. The top most floor looks as if it must have housed a rectangular chamber
with a narrow verandah running round it, the palace itself is surrounded by a
row of rooms, separated from the main building by a paved corridor. The entire
complex is now being called the Noblemen's Quarters.
