Room 2

Context Title: Room 2     
Context Name (Publication): Room 21     
Context Description: Central Court1     
Context Description: Room 2, the courtyard, was paved with mixed bricks carelessly laid and had a central drain; clay floors of later date lay at 0.60 m. and at 0.90 m. above it. Near the north comer there was a rectangular enclosure of broken bricks and mud which was probably a stand for a pot and in the east corner was a similar stand. The walls, preserved up to 2.90 m., were heavily mud-plastered, but the mud bricks were of extraordinarily bad quality, crumbling and full of potsherds, except for the SW wall which was unusually good (bricks 0.26 m. X 0.165 m. X 0.07 m.) and must have been built at a different time. In the SW wall were two doors giving on the lavatory (Room 3) and on the stairs.2
