Wilhelmina’s vineyard, excavations in 1966, 1968 and 1970.

 

Originally, this open area comprising of an entire insula was always thought to be the “Foro Boario” or cattle-market, because the original excavators found large animal bones.

Other explanations were as a site for the cages for the wild animals to be used in the games in the Amphitheatre, or even as a burial place for the dead gladiators.

By allowing Wilhelmina Jashemski to excavate here, by the end of the 1970 season she had found 2,014 vine root cavities and an equal numbers of stakes to support the vines and thus disproving previous theories and proving that this was indeed a vineyard.

Evidence that olives and vegetables may have been cultivated here was also found, as well as root cavities for large trees.

The cultivation of vines took place over the entire insula, and then the wine was stored in the cella vinaria.

Some of the wine was then sold in the shop in the Via dell’Abbondanza, and some of it was drunk by the visitors to the games at the Amphitheatre relaxing on the triclinia, at least two of which have been found here.

This is the largest of all the vineyards so far found within the city. Other vineyards being found at I.20.1, 1.20.5, and IX.9.6/7, and others in Via di Nocera and Via di Castricio.

All of these vineyards had equipment for winemaking, such as presses to extract the juice, and large pottery vessels called dolia in which the fermentation took place, and amphorae to store and conserve the wine. Some of the dolia had been discovered buried up to their necks underground. According to Wilhelmina, Pliny wrote that the finest wines in Campania were fermented exposed to the open air, while the weak vintages were kept in dolia sunk into the ground. Some of these vineyards even had wine cellars. Another vineyard, and triclinium, had been found on the other side of the Via dell’Abbondanza at III.7

 

The site in 1961.

The 1955 excavators had removed the volcanic material down to the original level, and then covered the area with backfill. See Jashemski W. F., 2014.

It was felt that the few cavities found around the edge of the insula, did not disprove that this might still have been a cattle market.

In order to prove it, root cavities in neat lines would have to be found in the centre of the insula.

II.5 Pompeii. 1966. Looking towards the west wall, trenches were dug out into the centre of the insula, in line with the root cavities found around the edges. However results were disappointing as the soil was very compacted and nothing was preserved below it. Another trench was tried but only three small root cavities were found, and so it was felt that too much time and money was being spent for the few root cavities that had been found. These roots did not disprove the theory that this had been the cattle-market. Reluctantly Wilhelmina agreed, and temporarily abandoned this site for other gardens. When they had been finished those, she persuaded the authorities to continue with the search here, as nothing else would be as important as proving or disproving the cattle-market theory.

II.5 Pompeii. 1966. In the Pompeii of 1966, it was much easier to get in and around places that are now fenced off and out-of-bounds. There were not as many “Vietato l’accesso” (No-entry) signs around in those days. In the words of Tony Robinson on “Time-Team” we hope these passers-by asked “Can we come into your trench?” Photo by Stanley A. Jashemski. Source: The Wilhelmina and Stanley A.
