Room 13

Context Title: Room 13     
Context Name (Publication): Room 131     
Context Description: Chapel1     
Context Description: Room 13 had at the north end a certain amount of pavement preserved, but this lay nearly 0.50 m. below that of Room 12, so may have belonged to an earlier phase of the building, though even so it was high enough to bury all the burnt-brick foundations of its walls, so that in relation to them it is late. Against the south wall, west of the door, there were remains of a raised brick base; by the corner of it, nearly in front of the door, there was buried for half its height under pavement level a round terracotta tub (ht. 0.50 m., diam. 0.58 m.) with horizontally ribbed sides coated inside and out with bitumen, obviously a water-basin. Sunk in the pavement was a clay pot containing tablets. 2
