<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">    This is a posting from the Zooarch mialing list  - I would be curious to hear
from other people who have seen mosaic floors from Late Antique or
Byzantine contexts. I think these objects sound too small to be gaming piece
or tokens. Please respond back to the list so we can all see your ideas and I
will forward the mail to Mohannad as well.</span></font></div>
