The area of \u200b\u200bthe room is 16 square meters. There were three designer beds in it, which could be adjusted to the height of a person.. Two beds were 170 centimeters long, and the third was only 140 centimeters long, which indicated that either the couple's child or a young apprentice lived in the room.. The bases of the beds were made of ropes.

Under the beds, the inhabitants of the room kept personal belongings, ceramic dishes and chamber pots.. There were eight amphorae in the corner of the room.. Also in the room was a wooden chest with objects made of metal and fabric, and on one of the beds lay the steering wheel of the cart..
