### [c5.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.37)

Pottery vessels were found sunk in the floor of some of the kitchens, and into these waste water was thrown, which gradually ran away into the earth through a small perforation in the bottom of the jar. The use of the modern “serving-hatch” seems likely to have been known in those days, since in two instances a small room, thought to be a kitchen, communicated with a larger one by means of an aperture in the wall.
