Polygonal
and Rectangular Block Work in Greece
![](images/slides/poly1.jpg)
This
polygonal Greek wall is on the south slope of the Acropolis.
At what is believed to be a later period, more defined rectanguar
blocks were used in the second photograph of the south-west
wall of the sanctuary of the Telesteron at Eleuis. Mortar was
not used in either case.
