 | House II | Excavation house designation on the northwest side of Straight Street (originally called Division Street because it divided the initial excavation units of House I, II, and III). This unit may have initially contained some rooms in No. 3 Straight Street. | (none) |
| No. 3 Straight Street | A large and in many respects a typical house, though its ground-plan was made somewhat irregular by the fact that it was built up against earlier houses and its site was not rectangular. It was well built, the burnt brickwork (bricks 0.27 m. X 0.165 m. X 0.075 m.) rising in the street wall to 1.70 m. and in the internal walls to 1.10 m. above pavement level; it had a long life and underwent a good many minor alterations and the walls were still in use after the floor had risen 1.85 m. above the original. Its foundation would seem to have been later than that of Nos. 3 and 5 Church Lane and of No. 5 Straight Street, judging by the bonding of the walls, but contemporary with the Hendur-sag chapel; the tablets found in its ruins ranged from the 27th year of Sulgi to the 15th year of Rim-Sin,3 2 and although the building probably did not itself go back to the Sulgi period it need not have been very much later (for the main walls of Nos. 3 and 5 Church Lane were of Third Dynasty date) and while the main floor level to which our excavations went down must come at least very early in the Larsa period the building as such shared in the general destruction of the quarter in the reign of Samsu-iluna. | (none) |
