Discussion of virtual reconstruction and interpretative choices
Title
The model reconstruction was based on the archaeological plan published by Yoshimura, Takamiya, and Kashiwagi (1999: fig. 3), and the reconstruction plan published by Akiyama and Takamiya (1998: fig 1).The walls of this temple no longer stand to their original height, but Yoshimura, Takamiya, and Kashiwagi (1999: 29) reconstructed the 16 lotiform portico pillars as originally measuring 4.7m, which provides a minimum building height. The height is here (including floors and roofing) estimated around 5m, although the original height may have been taller if capitols, architraves, and/or the ceiling were thicker than represented in the model.On the exterior walls of the tomb, the façade had a series of (unfinished) shallow niches (27 cm in depth and spaced in 60 cm intervals), described by the excavators as “panel-like projections” that may have been intended to fully cover the exterior walls (Yoshimura, Takamiya, and Kashiwagi 1999: 29). These are represented in the model on the north, west, and south side, in a finished condition.
