some

>>Total quantity
>>Material types
>>References used for identification
>>Provenience or Location found if known
>>Any other type of classification (i.e. grape shot, ballast stones,
>>cultural/ceremonial/game items) used
>>
>>Thank you all in advance for your patience and the time you might invest
in
