General description of the space
A rectangular, almost square space (5,40 x 5,52 m). It comprises a U-shaped portico around a rectangular lightwell (see Space I 1a). The walls are preserved at a height of 0,65 to 0,90 m and, in the part under the portico, coated in red. Under the portico, the floor is well preserved and made by green limestone slabs, some of which carry "ripple-marks". The interstices are covered with red mortar and the floor of the lightwell is coated in a whitish coarse mortar. Two stone column bases define the edge between the two floors, inserted in the limestone paving.
There are six doors in the room: one leading to Space I 13 West (to the East), one leading to Space I 2 (to the East), one leading to Space I 3 (to the West), one leading to the staircase I A (to the South), one leading to the corridor I 9 (to the South) and one leading to Space II 1 (to the South). The first one carries traces of the doorframe and perhaps a threshold; it corresponds to one of the three openings of a polythyron that was partially blocked. The second, third, as well as the last one, carry traces of the doorframe and a threshold.
To the west of the door leading to II 1, a hole on the lower part in the South wall leads to a water channel for the draining of rainwater.
