Synopsis
KI (7) was located off corridor (6) from court (2). Along the W. end of the S wall stands a
solid masonry ST of sub-type (1), its tiled surface showing signs of burning (Fig. 5.144). KI (7)
itself contained only a small terracotta vase and plate. The majority of cooking artifacts were
stored (and perhaps also used) in court (2), including utensils, plates and bowls, and iron pieces
of a BZ at the western edge. Iron feet for a couch/bed were found in the NE corner of the court,
but it is not possible to know if dining was also carried out in the court. DR (9) is identified by a
couch niche (lectus medius, w. 1.20 m.); its 2nd style decoration is based on a white ground. The
room contained a marble table, and vessels for food preparation and consumption that supports
a dining function. Due to the large number of other finds, Berry believes the room was also used
for storage. A small 'votive cup' was also found here.
