General description of the space
The largest space in Building B, of irregular shape, close to rectangular (10,50 - 12,60 x 5,10 - 5,70, or 60m2 approx.). Unevenly preserved, the wall covering is made everywhere out of white mortar. The floor is well preserved, coated with a whitish coarse mortar and with a general inclination from the East to the West. Several cavities on the floor made René Treuil and Martin Scmhid think of possible potholes.
This is a central space in the building, with eleven (11) doors / openings giving access to other spaces. The largest is the one leading to Space IV4, comprising two door-leaves and a threshold. Along all walls, apart from those delineating Spaces IV5 and IV6, benches are found; those on the South and South-East seem to belong to the room's initial phase, and the rest seems to have been added at a later stage.
The room's function was, on the one hand, obviously to distribute the circulation around the building. Yet the benches may point at a reception hall; thus, the exact nature of the room remains to be clarified.
No objects were found inside.
