 | No. 1 Baker's Square | To the Northwest of baker's square, 7 rooms, A door in the north corner of Baker's Square led into a long passage which was more like a private lane than a room in a house and had in its SW wall the front entrance to a separate building (not excavated). Facing this was the entrance to No. 1. The passage was unpaved and let into its floor was a brick enclosure like a manger. Of the walls, the SW was the deeper and apparently the older; the foundations of the NW wall lay at a much higher level, seven courses above those of the SW wall, but the two were bonded together above; the NW wall had been much destroyed by an intrusive bread-oven. | (none) |
| Room 1 | Central Court, What may then have been the front door of No. 1 opened directly into Room 1, the courtyard of the house; it was brick-paved with a central drain and the walls showed eleven courses of burnt brick with mud brick above. On a secondary floor level was found the cylinder seal U.16802; under the original pavement was the corbel-vaulted tomb LG/41 and an infant burial LG/42. Two rooms on the NW side of the court were not excavated by us as they lay under spoil-heaps whose removal would have entailed a cost out of proportion to any probable results, so only their doors were cleared. | (none) |
