Context Description:
|
The northern sanctuary (Rooms 5 and 6) was a patchwork; the west wall was an addition which, properly speaking, did not belong to the building at all and the north wall was a mixture of burnt-brick and mud-brick construction not all of the same date; the east wall, north of the doorway, was of mud brick whereas the south door-jamb was of burnt bricks, but a base which projected north of the door was of burnt brick and yet bonded into the wall against which it stood; beyond this was a mud-brick table 0.40 m. sq. The wall between Rooms 5 and 6 was a flimsy screen of mud brick; the shallow niche in the south wall of Room 5 would seem to have been a recess intended to take the flap of the opened door, not a ritual niche; the pavement had been destroyed and there was no sign of a statue-base.
