 | House VII | (none) | (none) |
| No. 2 Church Lane | The house was much ruined; it had been destroyed by fire in antiquity, the north side of the site had been denuded by water action, part of it had been dug, probably by Arab seekers after treasure, and the holes made were filled with clean drift sand; most of the walls had been removed and could often be traced only by the edges of the pavements and it was only along the south side of the building that the brickwork stood to any height. In spite of this it was possible to recover nearly all the ground-plan. The house had been a large one; the party walls between its rooms had had three courses of brickwork but those facing on the courtyard (3) had had eleven or more, and the door-jambs as many as fourteen; the burnt bricks in the walls were of the typical Larsa type, light yellow in colour, often with a bright red face, 0.27-0.28 m. X 0.18 m. X 0.09 m, and in the pavements were bricks of three types, 0.30 m. sq., 0.25 m. sq. and 0.27-0.28 m. X 0.18 m. X 0.09 m. The outer NW corner was rounded (implying that a lane branched off from Church Lane at this point) and the SW corner had been cut off diagonally to make easier the turn of the street. Against the south side of the house, beyond Church Lane, there was what appeared to be an open yard. | (none) |
