According to Scotti –

House of the Skeleton, Excavated 1863. Reg.VII, Ins.XIV – Street of Abundance – House no. 9.

“This house presents little of interest, excepting that a skeleton was found in it and left where it was discovered. At the time it was excavated, the means for producing casts in plaster were not yet known. The room in which it was found is supposed to have been used as a dormitory for servants, and the contracted position of the bones, clearly shows the agony endured before death. Visitors may see it by looking through the window, which is on the left-hand side of the garden belonging to the house”.
