Room 8

Context Title: Room 8     
Context Name (Publication): Room 81     
Context Description: Room 8, opening off the central court, was earth-floored; a door in the NW wall presented certain difficulties in that its NE jamb was original whereas the SW jamb was cut and its rough wall-end plastered with mud; there was nothing to show that the SW part of the wall was older than the NE section and it may be merely that the door was at first narrow and was later cut to the (normal) width of 1.00 m. Below the floor were larnax graves LG/21 and LG/22.2
