Abstract
Abstract The architectural survey included all structures in Insulae VIII.7 and I.1, examining building materials, construction styles, and most importantly, the stratigraphic relationships of the architecture reconstruct the structural history of the neighborhood. This method moves away from traditional architectural analysis, which has relied primarily on wall typologies, to privilege instead the stratigraphy of construction, destruction, reconstruction, and repair events. By breaking down walls into their smallest constituent parts before recombining them in their relative sequence, the survey built a relative chronology of architecture that was tied to the absolute chronology of the subsurface excavation through the excavated trenches that incorporated walls. This chapter lays out the methodology of the architectural survey, describes the standing buildings of 79 ce, and provides an overview of their final architectures as well as their development through time.
