 | 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 2 | Guest Room, On the SE side a door led into the guest-room (2), which was brick-paved and had a drain at the NE end; communicating with it on the NE was a little room which, in spite of its position, was probably not the lavatory, seeing that it had no pavement and no drain; below it were three infant burials (AHG/171-3). Through the guest-room one passed to the chapel which occupied the SE end of the site. The chapel was paved with bricks 0.26 m. X 0.17 m.; against its NE wall were the remains of a long brick altar 0.60 m. wide which showed signs of having been repaired; in the north corner was a brick 'table' 0.60 m. sq. of which eleven courses of brick survived. On the pavement were clay vases of Types IL.lOc. and IL.71; under it were larnax burials LG/44, 45 and 46, and let into the pavement in front of the altar was the pot burial of an infant. | (none) |
