The west in Room B which continues from A looks as if it were built with special reference to the stairs leading into Room C. and that leading to Room K H. This stairs might be later and if so might account for building on another section to wall to Room F and therefor the advisibility of closing. off door in Room A and shutting in. off on the south west side. Of course on this stair there would. seem to be three periods in evidence. the first the second when some reconstruction. was done as evidenced by 2 tiles roof tiles used as backers. and third when lower parts of steps were gone, and th oven was built there. Was the wall, east wall of Room C built with drain as the. drain goes around it, in all probability the drain is posterior to the wall, but then how do we account for drain underneath the wall. The inference would that the drain and wall were constructed almost simultaneously and with the same end in view.

It might be inferred that the north part of the east wall was built first in connection with other building construction, either to the East or west This would explain the necessity for moving drainage ditch when flag court was laid and the lack of plaster in southern part of east wall. So far so good for first two stages. But why was drain blocked up. if to drain in S2 completely and effectively and its course of drain change through door now if not before blocked up.
