Context Description: Entrance Lobby1     
Context Description: Room 1; the entrance from the street was at a very late date blocked by a rough wall made with a mixture of burnt and mud bricks still standing 0.90 m. high; the original threshold was two courses high and the floor was brick-paved, - the pavement lying 1.45 m. higher than that of the adjoining passage in the School House but uniform with that of the other rooms in the building. The west wall had fourteen courses of burnt brick; the north wall had been breached and the south wall razed, so that the doorway to Room 5 was deduced from its west jamb alone.2
