Two types of houses have been found: with a peristyle (nrs. 6-7 on the general plan) and narrow houses with artisanal areas in the back part (so-called strip houses; nrs. 8-11). Amongst the many finds from a house on the Fluhstrasse (nr. 7 on the general plan) was a caduceus (the staff of Mercurius). On the Römerwiese (nr. 12 on the general plan) terracotta figures were found.
