Room 5

Context Title: Room 5     
Context Name (Publication): Room 51     
Context Description: Room 5; this had an earth floor; in the south corner there was a line of bricks set on edge enclosing an area 1.00 m. X 0.55 m. X 0.25 m. high if, as was likely, it had been filled with a solid earth packing. At a late period, when the floor had risen 0.40 m. above the present level, a narrow door was cut through the SE wall into Room 4 of the next house, but this was no part of the original scheme.2
