Excavation in
north-west corner, entrance doorway in lower photo, looking south across
rectangular pit.
The rectangular pit
in the centre of the room (0.50m by about 0.70m) was filled with eruptive
material, proving that it had been open at the time of the eruption and was
then filled by the pyroclastic material. This open pit would certainly have
disrupted any commercial activity in the shop.
