Context Description:
|
Room 2, (PI. 38 b) opening out of 4, was the central court. It had a brick pavement sloping to a central drain; at a later stage this would seem to have been covered with a clay floor, for towards the north corner, in front of the door of Room 4 and also in line with the NW jamb of the door to Room 10, there were lines of burnt bricks set on edge (PI. 37 a) which merely rested on the pavement and could not have kept their position unless they had been embedded in such a floor. In the east corner, by the door to Room 9, and also against the wall by the SW jamb of that door there were compartments made of single bricks which probably belonged to the assumed clay floor and were perhaps imposts for the frame of the door, or they may have been supports for pots, as was the brickwork in the north corner.2
