24 September “But there's one more thing....”

Thank you very much, Antonio oooooo !!
He found a pretty cute thing in the final 10 minutes of the excavation in this year.
It must be a piece of golden pierced earrings.

Findings !

The body of a marble statue of female figure

Also in this area we found that some huge jars were embedded in the ground.

Junk yard ?

Some aligned huge pots

We found some huge pots in the north end of the excavation in 2008 and 2009.
We filled them up with lumps of inflated clay to prevent from its collapsing.

Through this work we could measure the capacity of each of them also.
The average capacity of them is about 1,500 liters.

In front of the doorway

It is still unknown why they leaned some roofing tiles and a limestone threshold plate on a wall on top of the layer of volcanic scoriae.

And after the removal of tiles
 

We found a fragment of the right foot of a marble statue.
