Synopsis
An upright masonry and wood ST of sub-type (3) was built into the NW corner of
corridor (9), which served as the kitchen (Figs. 5.172-5.173). The ST has disintegrated since
excavation and only traces of the one supporting wall are still visible. Two ceramic jars, one
containing "vegetal material" (Allison) were found here. Several cupboards and chests stood in
atrium (1). Cooking vessels were hung on nails or placed on shelving in room (8): two grinding
stones, seven terracotta vessels, a ceramic cooking pot, two small amphorae and a cup. Room
(12) had additional storage of cooking and table wares on its shelves: one bronze cooking pot,
shallow bowl and casseruola, thirteen ceramic vessels, and nine storage jars or jugs. A latrine was
located at the S end of (14). Both possible dining areas were in poor condition at the time of the
eruption. DI◊(2) had a fine central emblema in its pavement, but its 1st style walls had been
plastered over with plain stucco (Fig. 5.171). DR◊(10), with a window onto garden (11), seems to
have been under renovation, judging from the piles of building material found within; it retains
traces of 3rd style decoration (Fig. 5.174). A niched shrine was built into the E wall of garden
(11).
