Context Description: Room 7 was of a definitely domestic character. It had a clay floor; against the SE wall, near the east corner, were the remains of a brick fireplace, with quantities of ashes, and a pot, diam. 0.30 m., buried with its rim flush with the floor; near the NE wall there was sunk in the floor a large jar of Type IL.57b, rim diam. 0.30 m., and in the east corner (P1. 35 b) lay a big (broken) basin of rough clay, Type IL.31, diam. 0.90 m., ht. 0.70 m. roughly decorated with bitumen paint, PI. 103. Close to the door from Room 6 was an inverted clay bowl which may however have been of later date; in the middle of the room there was a bowl, diam. 0.65 m., sunk in the floor and next to it were the remains of another large ribbed bowl like that by the doorway, and nearer to the east corner, only half sunk in the floor, was a jar of plain drab clay, Type IL.49, ht. 0.48 m.2
