The doorways were rather small some being no wider than and the larger ones not more than . The south door of Room 1 has a well[handwritten: ≡] preserved threshold block in situ of the same type as the large propylon doorway. If it had proper jambs they would have been of well dressed blocks of stone of which some examples were found among the debris like those that went with similar thresholds in the South Building. Such a jamb serves as a threshold in the south doorway of Room 3, and in the door between rooms 5 and 6 there is a jamb of this type in situ but it is a block that served once elsewhere as a cornice and has been recut for its use here. No other examples of such threshold or jambs occur in situ but it is possible that the doorway leading from Room 7 to Temple A stairway being a larger and also an exterior one, was of a similar type and we may have one of the jambs and a [handwritten: ?] cut ?ut [handwritten: ?] shaped jamb had among the debris found nearby. The interior doors seem to be as might be expected somewhat more simple. In the door between rooms 3 and 4 an ordinary rectangular ashlar in the foundation wall serves as a threshold [handwritten: ?]; this has a pivot hole one end which indicates the upright blocks in the adjacent wall served on hinges; the large uprights framing the doorway are so badly weathered that they offer no clue. [handwritten: ?] These may have had a proper rebate to receive a door matching that of a fallen tie piece found nearby that may belong to them. The doorway between rooms 1 and 2 has no threshold and is so small as to render its stead. There is no pivot hole so the door jamb serving for the jambs. The doorway between rooms 4 and 5 though the largest in the building has no proper threshold block but ashlars here two doubt to its having had a door.
