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.

The wax has worn away or been removed from our tablet, whereupon each side was painted white, on which ancient Greek words were written.

26.12.7 Stemmed. The vessel is slanted to one side, which suggests that the base is not flat or that the body has not been made to rest flat on top of the foot. The wide rim has a flat lip. The base hollow to where the bottom of the bowl rests.
26.7.13 Rhomboid in section at the base, and curving towards the point; three protrusions at the base would have been used to secure the arrowhead to the shaft.
