Magazine 4 with giant pithoi placed by the archaeologists for display. The compartments in the floor were the permanent locations of pithoi, or storage jars, such as these, which stored wet and dry consumables, such as wine, oil, and grain. When full, they were multi-ton and immoveable. They were sunken for easier access to the wide mouths, for support and to keep the stored items cool.
