Room 8

Context Title: Room 8     
Context Name (Publication): Room 81     
Context Description: Room 8; the brick pavement remained in front of the entrances; the walls were much destroyed; the shape at the south end was curious, the wall being taken in a curve, obviously to allow for the big drain which occupied the adjoining room in No. 3; the curved wall was bonded into the straight so that the whole thing must have been original and No. 3 is shown as the older house to whose outlines the builder of No. 1 had to accommodate himself. Against the west wall, just north of the doorway, there was a brick tomb LG/83 which went down 0.45 m. below the pavement and rose at least five courses above it; it should therefore belong to the last phase of the building when the floors and the threshold of the front door were raised; in the grave and just above the skull was a collection of 16 inscribed tablets (U.17206).2
