Finds Observations Buccheroid impasto: incised decoration on one sherd. Metal: two iron nails, one small iron chunk. No diagnostic sherds of terra sigillata or thin-walled ware, but commonware dates align with the general chronology of the wares; first and second century AD seems likely.
Ceramics Observations Good condition overall.
