Room 13

Context Title: Room 13     
Context Name (Publication): Room 131     
Context Description: Room 13 seems to have ended originally at the first cross-wall which, like the NW wall of Room 12 and of Room 13 up to this point has burnt brick foundations standing 1.00 m. high; then the cross-wall was partly dismantled and the NW wall carried on with a foundation of burnt bricks 0.25 m. high and mud brick above to abut on the outer wall of No. 1 Old Street. The area thus enclosed was divided into two by a second cross-wall (with burnt brick up to 1.30 m.) 1.80 m. long. The whole place was earth-floored and must have been a yard, but the two piers probably supported (together with wooden uprights?) a pent-house roof, making a row of three sheds open to the front; the entrance from Room 8, which was probably a servants' working-room, would be an obvious convenience.2
