An interior space in k15 of about 2 square meters defined by three non-structural mudbrick walls and opening to the north onto a floor paved with sherds and stones. It contained a cache of 36 ceramic vessels, a34, and probably functioned as a storeroom. The low north wall, f542, abutted a main structural wall, f387, forming a low shelf. The west wall, f413, also abutted f387. The east wall, f508, abutted structural wall, f405. On the north side the room was bounded by a stone threshold, f542, which abutted the stone and sherd floor, f208. the space may have been covered but was not roofed. There likely were shelves to segregate and protect the ceramic vessels. In view v249, one can see that the mudbrick walls are founded on stones. Furthermore, the room probably had an earthen floor which was inadvertently excavated as part of accumulation f523. It is likely that the room was created as part of an extensive remodeling of that part of the palace. [Input: ZFz22jW.j] |
