Areas where two architectural bodies join and indicate
sequences of construction of the buildings.
There are two basic positions, with certain variations, on the
order of construction of buildings.
Tello Building A: The main evidence consists of two joints,
evidence of attachment, which have long been observed on

These joints show an inclination similar to that of known
walls and for this reason they are assumed to represent
