  The doorways along the south wall of each room (now protected by glass) were the original entrances. People would have walked through a series of rooms beginning in the plaza to reach back rooms like these. In the later years, when more people lived in the Great House, the well ventilated-rooms close to the plaza were probably used for daily activities while dark back rooms were used for storage.
