Villa dei Papiri, Herculaneum. July 2010. Looking east across room (r), at the rear of room (s), on right. Photo courtesy of Michael Binns. According to Guidobaldi and Esposito, a limited excavation survey was carried out in room (s) to verify the presence of the pavement. The survey, carried out along the east wall, confirmed that the pavement of the room, in opus tessellatum, must have rested upon a flat floor supported by wooden beams, which collapsed at the time of the 79 C.E. eruption. It is probable, therefore, that the floor is still in situ, but subsided under several dozens of centimetres of collapsed material. See Esposito D. and Guidobaldi M., 2010.

There is also evidence of the passage of a Bourbon tunnel, which seems to stop at the northern border of the impluvium. See Esposito D. and Guidobaldi M., 2010.

Villa dei Papiri, Herculaneum. 2009. Room (d), looking west from room (c), the atrium. In the recent excavations three minor clearing surveys were carried out at the openings towards tablinum (b) and alae (d) and (e). During these surveys the remains of mosaics adorning the thresholds of these rooms, which were removed during the Bourbon exploration, were recovered. It is probable that these thresholds can be recognized among some of the flooring now stored in the apartments of the Reggia of Portici. See Pagano, M.
