2006.12.108 Fragment of lid ? of vessel with three spurts over edge; presumably there was once a fourth.
2006.12.27 Cylindrical. Tapers outward at both ends, with two wider ridges at once end
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.

TEMP.2005.1.7 Round but flattened body with a short, wide neck and flat, rounded base. Potentially once had a handle.
