THREE HOUSES OF UNUSUAL PLAN 341
near the basins was found the skeleton of a man who at the
time of the eruption had taken refuge in this room and proba-
bly died of hunger. The appearance of the room at the time of
excavation is shown in a sketch published by Mazois (Fig. 170).
The door near the corner, seen in the illustration, led out-
side the city. The proprietor of the house perhaps had a special
permit enabling him to leave or enter the city at any time with-
out surveillance; none of the other houses along the edge of
the city have a private entrance of this kind.
