Room 1

Context Title: Room 1     
Context Name (Publication): Room 11     
Context Description: The entrance-lobby (Room 1) had all its walls contemporary except the NE wall, which was older; the NW wall had six courses of burnt brick with mud brick above and in the north corner as many as ten courses; between the north comer and the door to the court it had been partly destroyed and rebuilt with a mixture of burnt and mud bricks. It was bonded into the SW wall and that again into the SE wall. The floor was brick-paved (bricks 0.245 m. X 0.155 m. X 0.07 m.) and there were remains of a brick box against the SW wall; some bricks of the same dimensions occurred in the NW and SE walls but most were of the size 0.26 m. X 0.165 m. X 0.07 m., the two being evidently in use at the same time.2
