The remains of the tessellatum of room 1 were detected during a limited excavation (sonda 4) conducted in 1991 by Brona Langton and Robert Ellis for the Medobčinski zavod za varstvo naravne in kulturne dediščine Piran outside the area of the archaeological park of Simonov zaliv, on the border of the orchard of house Tomažičeva ulica 11. The mosaic lays at only 0,32-0,36 m above sea level. In a later phase a tile wall structure (without foundations) was placed on the mosaic attesting the re-use / space redistribution of the portico for other purposes.
