Full Description
CAT Building 9 had timber and daub walls and no mortared plinths. Charcoal fragments of two ground-plates survived and along the side of the street was an oak-lined drain which contained a human mandible in its backfill. These features were all burnt in AD 60-61. The daub floors of building 9 contained fragments of white painted wall plaster and thus must have derived from the demolition of a least one building.<1>
