Room 3

Context Title: Room 3     
Context Name (Publication): Room 31     
Context Description: Room 3 was brick-paved. In the SE wall there were two doors of which the northern was walled up (or a very high threshold added?) at a late period; the south door had a south jamb of mud brick only built against the junction of the old SW wall, which came to an end half-way through the door passage, and a new rough wall of mud brick which abutted on it and was carried on to make the SW wall of Room 4. In the NW wall there seems to have been a door opening on Old Street which was afterwards blocked and a mud-brick wall built in front of it; but the state of the wall was so ruinous that no certain conclusions can be derived from it, and it is possible that there was a shop (?) window with a mud-brick counter inside it.2
