This JPG shows a detail plan of the production area in the southwest part of the Qasr. We have since 2001 excavated 3 of these rooms and we know of at least 7 more. They are all located along the north and south enclosure wall, and feature a chute and drain canal towards the outside of the Qasr.
Although the exact purpose of these rooms is not yet clear, we know that some kind of production that involved vast amounts of water took place here.
