Room 5

Context Title: Room 5     
Context Name (Publication): Room 51     
Context Description: Chapel1     
Context Description: Room 5 was paved with bricks 0.25 m. X 0.17 m.; the walls showed twelve courses of burnt bricks. At the SW end was a low altar and on it, in the west corner, the lower part of a "table" 0.45 m. high; in front of the "table" there was a gap in the pavement and in it an infant's burial in a bowl covered with a second bowl which was flush with the paving-bricks and seems therefore never to have been concealed. Below the pavement was a vaulted brick tomb.2
