Note

Each line runs through the building's mapped centre at the azimuth the Solstice Project surveyed for its principal wall, and is as long as that wall (Table 9.1): Pueblo Alto 88.9° (110 m), Tsin Kletsin 89° (40 m), Hungo Pavi -85.24° (90 m). Sofaer reads the first two as east-west and Hungo Pavi as equinox sunrise on the visible horizon. The lines show directions; they are not traced walls.
