Description (Physical description)
Several fragments of wall plaster. Most of these are from border bands - reds, greens, blues, etc. One piece has a white ground, upon which is painted a pink leafy motif. Another piece has a blue ground and part of a delicately painted design in pink. Most of these fragments have flat back surfaces, and some have traces of a daub- like substance. This suggests that the fragments originated from a wattle-and-daub wall(s).Also 1 rim sherd, 1 iron nail, 1 small iron bar
