Late Roman building F
- Description:
- House F separated from B by a small courtyard occupies the western extremity of the area under investigation. Like House B, it was used for both dwelling and domestic purposes. It featured a similar layout with a series of singular rooms opening onto the courtyard, but it was erected somewhat earlier: rooms F2 and F3 in the late 5th century, and room F1, transformed from part of the courtyard, added on a little later. The structure’s walls survived in different conditions, some solely as ghost walls, others rising to a height of no more than 1.40 m. The need to uncover surviving mosaics of the house alpha, as well as the overall plan of the mosaic exhibition required the removal of both some of these low-surviving Late Roman walls and fragments reconstructed in the seventies (Final Report).
