13.10.17 Barrel-shaped jug, deep-spreading lip, half has broken away. One handle, with a raised area along the middle. Clay on body rounded into a point in the middle of either side.
2018.6.1 A writing tablet, with bored holes that evidence the hinge whereby it was once attached, with a cord, to a second tablet. It was once inlaid with a wax surface, within a rectangular frame, on which the writer would have scratched words with a stylus. The wax has worn away or been removed from our tablet, whereupon each side was painted white, on which ancient Greek words were written.
