Room 4

Context Title: Room 4     
Context Name (Publication): Room 41     
Context Description: Of Room 4 very little remained, the south door-jamb and the brick paving at the eastern end, the rest being destroyed below floor level. In the NW angle of the courtyard there was left a doorjamb with the remains of steps starting on the line of the threshold; behind there was a wall built of a mixture of burnt and mud bricks with the east face quite rough - bricks projecting for half their width- showing that it was the retaining-wall for the solid filling which must have supported the lower treads of a staircase; the upper treads presumably were of wood and were carried over the little chamber (5) which lay behind this and was entered from Room 1.2
