Context Description: It led into Room 5, the domestic chapel. The chapel floor was originally brick-paved; in the south corner was the brick "table" 0.50 m. sq. and standing now 0.65 m. high; in the NW wall, at its north end, there was a recess in which four clay pots were found standing in a row; in the SE wall there was an incense-hearth 0.70 m. wide and 0.25 m. deep which was 0.80 m. high and then narrowed down to a chimney 0.25 m. wide; the altar which should have stood in front of this had disappeared. The walls in general showed six or seven courses of burnt brick above pavement level; they had been several times re-plastered with mud and showed at least three different surfaces of whitewash; the NE wall had been breached at the east corner and patched with mud brick; the SW wall had been razed to floor level.2
