Room 1

Context Title: Room 1     
Context Name (Publication): Room 11     
Context Description: Entrance Lobby1     
Context Description: The front door had a brick threshold which was later raised to 0.70 m. and again to 0.90 m. above the old; the lobby (Room 1) was of irregular shape, brick-paved, and the NE wall had been remodelled; originally it seems to have been straight and had a doorway leading to Room 4, but this was blocked up and also the NW end of the wall was cut away and against its ragged end was built the curved wall which now made the room irregular and afforded space for the door in the NW wall opening on the central court. Against the SE wall were four vases of yellowish drab clay, Type IL. 44, and fragments of a saucer, Type IL. 8.2
