South Wall
Description
A. Karivieri & R. Forsell
The wall is located between rooms g and f in a N-S direction.
The original wall is built mostly in limestone, some cruma, lava, tuff, bricks and terra cotta. There is one hole, possibly made by treasure hunters, in the SW corner. It is filled in with limestone, cruma and cement. There is another refilled hole in the centre of the wall 0.40 x 2.10 high. This is possibly an ancient wall repair, filled in with limestone and cruma with plaster on the lower surface of the stones above the hole (w. of the hole 0.59). There are repairs in brick in the western corner at the height of 2.70 and in the eastern at the height of 2.85.
There are several beam-holes in the wall at different levels. Two larger beams placed at h. 1.10 m, possibly supports fore shelves, and two smaller beam-holes at h. ca. 2.44 m for another shelf.
Wall painting: remains of white plaster from lower and main zone.
State of preservation: Upper part missing, uppermost part reconstructed.
Wall: w. 3.68; h 3.90
