Room 10

Context Title: Room 10     
Context Name (Publication): Room 101     
Context Description: Room 10. This room, inconveniently narrow at the SW end had undergone modifications. In the second foundation a niche was made in the SE wall in order to widen the room, and in the latest (Kassite) period a flimsy burnt brick wall was built over the older burnt-brick foundations of the Larsa wall and made parallel to the NW wall in order to obtain a rectangular room. In the Larsa period there had been a door in the NE wall which was blocked in the Kassite period. The earliest burnt-brick pavement, contemporary with the mud brick walls of the early foundation had bricks measuring 0.275 X 0.18 X 0.07 m. The Kassite SE wall was only 0.75 m. thick and contained burnt-bricks measuring 0.24-0.25 X 0.16 X 0.065 m. and there were other bricks 0.185 and 0.15 m. wide.2
