Room 3
| Context Title: | Room 3 |
| Context Name (Publication): | Room 31 |
| Context Description: | Room 3 had a threshold raised 0.60 m. above the level of the court but its own floor was only 0.10 m. below the threshold; the floor was mud covered with a thin layer of bitumen over which matting had been spread, its imprint remaining on the bitumen. In the north corner was a terracotta bread-oven of the usual bee-hive shape 0.65 m. in diameter; in the south corner was a platform of burnt brick thickly covered with wood ash in which lay fragments of three large jars; the walls were much smoke-blackened. Nearly the whole of the room was open to the street, there being in the middle of the SE wall a large window whose sill was about 1.00 m. above street level (the mud brickwork on either side of the opening rose for the best part of a metre higher, so that there could be no doubt about the window), and the room was evidently used as a cook-shop.2 |
