The soil was clean and its color was that of the native soil, light yellowish brown. The soil had few inclusions and no lenses of burned material. We conclude that it was deposited naturally after the room and its contents were abandoned, not destroyed. f 411 tc co f523 a 34 sm A cache of 36 ceramic vessels in room aggregate a39. It consiste of: well-preserved whole and restorable bowls, cups, various types of large and small jars, and various sherds. Assemblage b1 collects the drawings of these vessels which reflect the contents of what resembles a modern china closet. Their high quality and location near the formal courtyard of the palace suggests a possible use in serving refreshments to visiting dignitaries. They appear to have been suddenly abandoned. a 39 sm 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. f 387 tc ab f542 tc ab f413 f 405 tc ab f508 f 208 tc ab f542
