M. M. Ill: THE DOMESTIC QUARTER 333 according to the original plan, the Queens Megaron was not so entirely shut Originaloff on its Eastern border from the Peristyle Court which ex hypbthesi ^^^^J^formed the Southern approach to the Hall of the Double Axes. Both the MegaronWalls of the E. light-well of this Megaron, which are of fine limestone °masonry, end in two distinct antae, and the wall that at present blocks theinterval between these is of later construction.- A test excavation made byme in 1913 in the N.E. corner of the light-well brought out, at a depth of45 centimetres beneath the surface of the cement floor, and separated by aninterval of about 30 cm. from the base of the later wall, the broad founda-tions ^ of an earlier structural barrier running roughly along the same line. Itseems clear that this earlier barrier had openings on the adjoining PeristyleCourt. Thus, according to the original disposition of this suite, completeprivacy was only attained on the upper story.
