Context Description:
|
A door in the north corner communicated with Room 3, at the NE end of which was the second door on the street. In the north corner was a pedestal of burnt brick and in the east corner an L-shaped bench, 0.45 m. wide against the NE wall and 0.65 m. wide against the SE wall, built of three courses of burnt brick with mud brick above; its original height was doubtful, its top having been weathered away flush with the existing top of the wall (c. 0.60 m.), butit was probably not very high and seems to have been in the nature of a counter for the display of goods. In the SE wall the high burnt brickwork of the outer wall ran back only for 1.00 m. and was then bonded into mud brick with four cour;es of burnt brick below. The floor was of clay. In the SW wall an old doorway had been walled up. 2
