Citadel House (MCNE-3-2-06)

The first 8 items (photographs) were taken at the very beginning of the British team's excavation of Citadel house in 1954, when the initial discovery was believed to be a reservoir. Subsequently, this impression was revised and changed to the designation 'storeroom'. The Citadel House area, designated ‘Area Gamma (Γ)’, was a complex of buildings that was to be excavated fully under the direction of Lord William Taylour during the 1959-1969 seasons.
