A vivid blue shrine showcased the owner's deep pockets.
Archaeologists believe this room, painted an unusual light blue color, may have been used as a shrine by the house's owners.
The owners had it painted blue, which would have been very rare and expensive at the time.
"Having a whole room painted in blue would have made a major statement about the wealth of the house owner," Barrett said.
A pile of oyster shells was found near other building materials, Barrett said.
