Location Context Title Context Description Description (Modern)
LR Field photograph captions make it clear that LR is a series of rooms cutting across Area EH at a slight angle off of north-south, in the approximate grid squares of EH, E6-L9. Confusingly, these rooms then acquired their own letter designations running against the grid designations. Woolley rarely used a grid, preferring to use architectural remains to guide his excavation. When he did use a local grid (usually because no architecture was visible to guide other numbering), it was typically established in 5x5 meter individual squares, numbered east to west and lettered south to north. These grid square number/letter combinations occasionally appear on artifact cards, but more often they do not. Only four artifacts have the context designation LR and one of them makes it clear that the area is within EH, as do many field photograph captions. The captions give some of the square numbers into which parts of LR fell, helping to confirm the overall location. (none)
