Transcription:	Room 15 TTB Drain The hole dug was circ 120 diam. + was refilled with earth cut broken bricks were packed round the pipes themselves. The pipe is later than the mud wall because the face of this was hacked away in placing the pipe (N B the mud wall projects beyond the face of the brick wall). As the top of the pipe is broken off below the footings of the brick wall, + as the latter is destroyed below its platform level, there is no evidence in the spot to shew whether the two are connceted or not.

	TTB	TTB is shorthand for Trial Trench B, one of two trenches excavated in Woolley's first season at Ur in 1922. This one was about 4 meters wide by about 60 meters long and ended up almost entirely within the e-nun-mah, a building that went through many forms over the centuries. The trench was expanded to reveal the building and extra abbreviations were added to it to indicate portions, roughly in directional notation from the main trench. The trench cut the building close to the west corner and TTB.W became the abbreviation for this area beyond the trench itself. TTB.SS and TTB.ES covered the larger area to the south and east. The abbreviation ES was then used in later seasons to refer to the majority of the building and a small portion of the area to the south of it. The enunmah itself was a complicated structure that seems to have changed function from storeroom (originally called the ganunmah) to temple through its long history. Woolley began assigning room numbers within the abbreviation TTB, but these excavation room numbers do not correlate precisely with the published room numbers.	(none)
