Context Name (Publication):	House 30/B
Context Name (Excavation):	House 30
Context Description:	Five houses of the Isin-Larsa/Old Babylonian period infringed upon the ruins of the Shulgi Mausoleum and its Amar-Sin annexes. In fact, the houses were built almost directly above its remains and it is curious to think that the large and important mausolea would have faded so completely from memory that houses would be built here 100 - 200 years later. Woolley felt that the Elamite destruction had been severe enough to accomplish this. The southwest wall of the mausolea remained to a height of 2 meters while the northeast wall was substantially ruined and it is this northeastern side that is most heavily built over. Woolley excavated these houses quickly in his effort to uncover the larger Ur III structure and numbered them as one unit, House 30. Later he separated the plans into individual houses, labeled House 30 A-E. All were badly denuded and few finds came from them, though typically there were also graves beneath the floors that are better recorded. These and drainpipes often disturbed parts of the ruined mausolea below.
Context Description:	Originally well built and brick paved. Cut through by the Temenos Wall of Nebuchadnezzar.
