On the last day of the excavation, we finally got a complete look at what we are calling the Chamber of the Pools. One pool is still hidden (except for its southern face) in the north baulk. But the fountain pool could now be seen in its full beauty.
In front of the pool is a mosaic floor that attests to the beauty of the chamber and beckons us to excavate further to the north in a future season.
