| Context Description: | It led into a small booth (Room 1) originally paved with brick and enclosed, like all the building, by old walls on the SE and NW sides. The NE wall was curious; the door opening had originally been at the east end of the wall with at most a mud-brick jamb against the SE wall, if there was any jamb there at all; the rest of the NE wall had burnt-brick foundations. The SE wall began to lean inwards and threatened to collapse, so the NE wall was dismantled to its foundations and on those a new wall of burnt brick was built with the door-opening at the north end so that the whole eastern section should act as a buttress to the SE wall; in spite of this however the movement continued and the new wall had been pushed out of the straight so that the existing jamb was at a sharp angle from the vertical.2 |
