1. This is room III

  Tim: Room III. Good. I assume that the revetment is what Jayni wants. Columns too thin. Very good work on the lighting and the shadows. I know how difficult this is. What's the basis for the ashlar masonry above the revetment?? Why do we think the revetment ended at that height? Is this looking at Room V? Is the fountain, then, reconstructed on the south wall of Room V?  
  Fikret:  
  Jayni:

 

 





2. This is looking at room IV.

  Tim: I assume that the top of the stylobate is at the proper height. It looks too low, but that may be because the floor is now gone. Have you checked that?  
  Fikret:  
  Jayni: looks great. I love the shadows, and the floor pavement is perfect.  






 



3. This is in room IV, with room III beyond

  Tim: How high is the band of fresco? Jayni, do you know? It must be at least a meter high? Do you assume it went around the three sides?  
  Fikret:  
 

Jayni: also great. One thing - and it's minor - there should be a band of fresco painting around the wall above the meter-high ledge in the pool, at least on the southwest and west walls. This will just make the room look hideously busy, won't it? But it's there so I guess it should be included if possible. let me know what you think or if you have questions about it.

 



 







4. This is looking at room III

  Tim: Same questions as for #1 above. Ceiling looks too high.  
  Fikret:  
  Jayni: we already corrected this one. (added niche and basin)
