A small amount of pottery was recovered from T26 in the 2024 season. Only two loci that contained ceramic remains, Locus 38 and Locus 40, were excavated. The pottery recovered from T26 in 2024 was equally distributed between these two loci and consisted predominantly of impasto ceramics (77.66%), with fine ware and coarse ware making up roughly a quarter of pottery finds each. Very little diagnostic pottery was recovered; 89.75% of all ceramics were body fragments. Locus 38 contained mainly impasto body fragments, with coarse ware and fine wares in approximately equal amounts (10.53 and 9.40% respectively). Some pottery in Locus 38 preserved elements of decoration, such as pottery with two grooved lines (Special Find #2). Joining fragments of buccero with incised decoration were recovered from this locus (PC20240039). Some pottery in this layer may have been included within the plaster used to construct the OC2/Workshop building, since fragments such as Special Find #8 were found with plaster adhered to the surface. Locus 40, the heavily plaster included layer that covers the tile fall of Locus 41, contained 174 fragments of impasto. 12 impasto rims were recovered in Locus 40, but only small amounts of other diagnostic pottery were found. This locus yielded two fragments of slipped pottery (Special Finds #16 and 32), which may have been imported. They await further analysis.
