Function

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on function 2001-07-30 lR The function of this feature is unclear, although they retain a very typical door socket shape their locations to each other suggests that they were used for another purpose. One suggestion is for food production such as grinding food or a more specialized use associated with someone's trade. These "door sockets" are also next to the basin f137, and located in a small niche-like area. [Input: L818LR.j]
