		Several unusual features of temple architecture also appeared, such as the apparent lack of a proper floor surface, the narrow five step stairway leading up to the entrance, and an adjacent stone base with circular cutting for a perirhanterion base.
		Masses of decayed mud brick, some preserving traces of red plaster, indicate the building material above the local limestone orthostates; the absence of superstructure suggests those elements were of wood.
		Excavations around the roughly rectangular limestone blocks that formed the core of the altar (presumably they were covered with plaster originally to enhance their appearance) revealed surprisingly little of expected deposits of ash or burned animal bones.

	The Early Minoan Period: The Tombs
		In its initial use (dated to the final pre-palatial phase, MM IA), this tomb consisted of a complex of small rectangular chambers fronted on the east by a rectangular unit consisting of a long N-S corridor on the west and a series of "cult rooms" at the south and east.
		The west side of the corridor features a set of {orthostate}s [cut blocks set in such a way that their greatest dimension is oriented vertically] alternating with niches.
		The odd corridor featuring niches and orthostates, as well as a type of cup with a pointed base that has been found associated with this phase of the tomb complex, have been compared by Watrous with contemporary Egyptian forms; neither the architectural feature nor the vase shape has a convincing Minoan pedigree.

		The crowning course is missing, though two pedimental end pieces decorated with floral motifs were found nearby and are probably from the altar.

	The Archaic temple at Isthmia
		Rising joints were perpendicular to the top and bottom faces of the block, and the joints were finished in a manner that ensured closure on both inner and outer faces.
		This type of construction could be called a one-skin wall in contrast to the two-skin walls, of ashlar or orthostate construction, that are commonly found in the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age architecture of the Eastern Mediterranean.
		A North Syrian origin is rejected because buildings there show a long-standing tradition of orthostate construction with a superstructure of wood and field stones.

		The main room is equipped with a plastered bench four meters long, a flagstone floor, and orthostates along the walls.
		Based on the architecture, it is assumed to be the sacred space of the first palace.

		On the other hand, a funerary appearance, symbolised by the delimitation of space (pit, orthostats and stone ring), obviously was required.
		Interpretation that we give of this tumulus proposes to recognise it as a monument used at religious ends, perhaps erected in the honour of a death divinity and/or intended for the memory of a deceased (cenotaph).

		Recent activities by treasure hunters have done considerable damage to the east end of the temple, in places actually destroying the southeastern corner as well as pulling orthostates out of place.
		Within the Rectangular Building we excavated the western halves of each of the three rooms found last year down to their latest floor levels.
		They were found among pieces of broken roof tiles and large stones similar to the abandonment level in the Rectangular Building.

		Of course, identification can only be approximate without closer examination of the plant and flowers.
		What we can say is that the plant is definitely not B. oreonastes from Africa (described and illustrated by J.J. Vermeulen in Orchid Monographs II) and that you are right, there is no Bulbophyllum named B. orthostates.
		I hope that this is of some help and I will be happy to provide further information if the references mentioned are not available to you.
