This article provides a preliminary report on the 2012 field season for the Pompeii Quadriporticus Project (Universities of Massachusetts Amherst and Cincinnati).This was the third field season for the Project, in which our efforts were focused on an architectural survey of the eastern side of the building and the entire inner colonnade.The report outlines the relative stratified sequences in the construction of the eastern side of the building, connecting the phases to those already outlined for the remainder of the building in earlier seasons, as well as to excavated data uncovered in the adjacent insula (VIII.7.1-15) by the Pompeii Archaeological Research Project: Porta Stabia.From these technologically sophisticated studies, as well as from two seasons of geoprospection and a novel approach to reading the complex but valuable chronological information in each of the columns of the colonnade, it is now possible to reconstruct the original form of the Quadriporticus and to chart its development over timein relative and absolute termsas well as to know something of its place in the infrastructural history of Pompeii.
