A piece of CBM (ceramic building material) with inscribed graffito was revealed in Trench A. The object may be a tegula or a brick. The marks are very clear and look like Roman characters (perhaps SA or VS).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Trench A also produced a tegula marked with likely hobnails! Someone stepped on it before it was dried and fired some 1800 years ago.<\/p>\n

In Trench B, Context (2005) is being carefully removed to reveal the rubble layer, ready for 3D photographing. Underneath 2005, a new context contains numerous large sherds of pot, many with rims, which are diagnostic, and the large animal skeleton.<\/p>\n

Other finds from the site include: a Dressel 20 amphora from Spain that would have contained olive oil, floor tessarae with mortar attached, multiple nails, including a hobnail, a sherd of Nene Valley pottery, a piece of CBM with a dog paw print, a piece is clay moulded with a spout for a gutter or a bath plug.<\/p>\n
