So here we find ourselves in one of the other restaurants that have been excavated 1 in this town block. As customers would come up through this long passage way, they'd reach the end of the property, where they would find, out on the left hand side here, two dining rooms. In the second one here, if we enter in, what you could expect to have found in 79 A.D. was a few couches around the side and the back walls. And also very simple, very basic wall decoration. Nothing like the fancy kinds of decoration we find in a much better point of restaurants. What we've also found in this area are many of these gaming pieces with these, you know, heads and tails fig 2. to it. These are fantastic reminders 3 that not only eating and drinking was(were) important in this establishment,but also gambling 4 as well.
Archaeologists have pieced together what was on the menu. They've taken the garbage and the waste that was trapped 2000 years ago in the drains of this building and sifted 5 through it. They add water and force air bubbles through. The fragments which float to the surface are then removed for analysis.
Here we've got some little seeds that we've picked out through the flotation. Got an apple seed in here. So we know that they're eating a wide variety of apples, you know, fruit, different kinds of fruit, like pears and figs 6, white grape seeds, there is a lot of grape in their diet. So those are very common. Fish, a lot of fish bones, fish-scale.
