Room 8

Context Title: Room 8     
Context Name (Publication): Room 81     
Context Description: Guest Room1     
Context Description: Room 8, the guest-room, was brick-paved; its east wall was completely destroyed and only the raised threshold of the door proved its position. Just in front of the doorway there was found part of a (burnt) plank 0.15 m. wide and about 0.04 m. thick to which were attached cross-planks at right angles with intervals between them of 0.30 m. width which were filled up with vertical bars of light wood (willow or osier?), 0.02 m. in diameter, set 0.01-0.02 m. apart; it was apparently a door of open lattice-work very much like that used in some modern Arab houses; cf. also that in the Hendur-sag chapel and in No. 1 Paternoster Row, Fig. 39 and P1. 51 b. 2
