Context Description:
|
The old NE door led into a small antechamber (2), originally paved, beneath whose floor was a larnax burial, LG/47. The walls were all of the same date and type, with fifteen courses of burnt brick and above that mud brick of very poor quality, full of dirt and potsherds. The threshold lay flush with the eighth course of burnt brick, implying a certain rise in the ground level. Later the ground rose more and a new burnt-brick NW jamb was built for the front door, not quite on the lines of the old, while the mud brickwork of the upper part of the wall continued to serve as the SE jamb, and the floor and threshold were raised by 0.50 m.; Later there was another rise of about 0.30 m., and later again the door was definitely blocked up as we found it.2
