Room 11
Context Title: | Room 11 |
Context Name (Publication): | Room 111 |
Context Description: | Court1 |
Context Description: | The large area to the north numbered as Room 11 was certainly an open court or yard; it had been paved, and in the NW corner there was a block of burnt brickwork 0.85 m. high of which the use is unknown. The east wall dividing it from Room 5 was a late addition, not bonded at either end. On the west an opening, much wider than any normal door, gave access to Room 12. Originally there had been here a wall with nine courses of burnt brick below and mud brick above having a doorway in its centre; later all the wall south of the door was destroyed and the northern section lost some of its burnt brick; then the north section was repaired in mud brick and the south section rebuilt in mud brick over two courses of burnt brick; then the doorway was bricked up and either at that time or later the wall to the south of it was again razed to make the wide opening shown on the plan.2 |
