In 2007, the Pompeii Archaeological Research Project: Porta Stabia (PARP:PS) continued its campaign to uncover the structural and social history of insula VIII.7.115 and the Porta Stabia with a third season of archaeological excavations. Five trenches were strategically located with the aim of clarifying the temporal and spatial definitions and relationships of certain properties within the area. Trench 11000 was opened in the street-side room (Room 11) of property VIII.7.5; trench 12000 was located in the entire front room (Room 32) of VIII.7.7-8; trenches 13000 and 15000 were opened in the rear premises of VIII.7.9-11 (Rooms 56 and 55, respectively); and trench 14000 was opened within the Porta Stabia (fig. 1). The following preliminary report, therefore, continues our tradition of publishing an initial phased narrative for each of our excavated trenches, and naturally anticipates the more thorough and considered monograph that will follow our final season of excavations. Each trench is here organised by phase, although each treatment should be considered preliminary as we await a more comprehensive analysis of the ceramic and numismatic material. While our project has invested much time and resources into recovering and analysing the artefactual and bio-archaeological record, as well as conducting a comprehensive architectural and Total Station survey of the standing architecture and subterranean features, much of our reporting of those activities, if even at the preliminary level, must necessarily await the results of our forthcoming ‘study seasons’.
