Room 10

Context Title: Room 10     
Context Name (Publication): Room 101     
Context Description: Room 10, with an unusually wide doorway opening on the central court (2) was evidently the guest-chamber; the threshold was raised 0.10 m., the floor was paved with bricks 0.28 m. sq. At a late period the outer (NE) wall seems to have been in danger of collapsing inwards and a new mud-brick reinforcement was added to its inner face, reducing the width of the room to that of a mere passage; the foundations of the new wall were 0.45 m. above pavement level and corresponded with a raising of the floor of the house by c. 1.05 m.2
