Context Description:
|
Room 3, the lavatory, had a paved floor into which, in the north corner, were let two clay pots, diams. 0.50 m. and 0.40 m., both empty. On the floor lay a limestone impost 0.25 m. sq. X 0.15 m. high with a hole in its top 0.18 m. sq. X 0.09 m. deep. Above this ran the staircase, which was unusually well preserved (PI. 40a); from the courtyard five treads gave a rise of 1.40 m., then the stairs turned to the SW over the lavatory but did not occupy its full width, an interval between them and the courtyard wall being screened off; the new flight was built inside the stair-line on the top of the fifth tread and bricks moulded to a curve were set at its corner to make the turn easier.2
