BLACK WARE. 



68. a. IINICIISI^*-^ 



This stamp is the same as 53 c. It is the only example of a 

 stamp on hlack ware that has come to my knowledge from the 

 Station at South Shields. 



MORTARIA. 



69. e. ANANS or AVAVS or SVAVA^^^^ 



The first and second letters are ligulate, and the third and 

 fourth are so too. It is impossible to say whether N or V is in- 

 tended. If the inscription is reversed, as it may possibly be, 

 the third rendering given above would be the correct one. The 

 inscription is perfectly plain. It is on a fragment of coarse red- 

 dish ware. 



70. c. NV 



On a fragment of coarse reddish ware. 



71. c. OCGFLI^** 



On a fragment of fine white ware. The letters are of an or- 

 namental character, about three-quarters of an inch long, between 

 ornamented borders. The last two letters are imperfect, and 

 there may have been more, both preceding and following. The 

 G is somewhat doubtful ; it may really be C. 



VI. GRAPHITIC INSCEIPTIOJSTS. 



The Excavations at the Lawe have yielded a number of Gra- 

 phitic Inscriptions ; such, for example, as the names of the ow- 

 ners scratched on the undersides of vessels of Samian, and other, 

 Ware. The following is a list of all such Inscriptions, as far as 

 I have been able to trace and examine them. The letters pre- 

 fixed to the Inscriptions have the same significations as in the 



preceding lists. 



SAMIAN.
