Context Description:	Room 10, the chapel. This had been brick-paved all over, but of the pavement only a little was left at the SE end and along the walls; at the SE end was a dais raised one course of bricks above the general floor level, coming out 1.30 m. from the SE wall, and on this in the south corner was the burnt-brick foundation of the "table"; the altar had disappeared. Just in front of the edge of the higher pavement was an infant's burial in a bowl covered by another bowl; the top of the cover was flush with the strip of pavement left along the wall base so that the burial would seem to have been on the surface and not underground (though in such cases there is always the possibility that the burial belongs to a higher floor, of clay, of which no trace was detected by us). Under the main part of the floor was a very large brick tomb with arched entrance.²
