1. Find an animal and its geometric boundary in the mosaic. Separate what you see from what the source tells you about Orpheus.

2. Which different stages do the stone mill and wooden beam press represent? Why must the display be called restored?

3. Sort burned olive pits, pomace as fuel and purchase or barter into find, interpretation and open question. Which of these is absent from the workshop photograph?

4. Without treating AD 285 as the city’s end, choose one fourth-century trace and one early Islamic trace. Name the source for the settlement change you describe.
