Context Name (Publication): No. 1 Church Lane 1     
Context Name (Publication): Hendur-sag Chapel1     
Context Name (Excavation): Wayside Chapel     
Context Name (Excavation): PaSag Chapel     
Context Description: Off the corner of Church Lane and Straight Street. This house is combined with Straight Street 1, rooms 1,2,3.      
Context Description: The chapel occupied a corner site fronting on Carfax; the main door of the chapel proper opened on Church Lane and a subsidiary entrance which served the little rooms probably appropriated to the officiating priests opened on Straight Street. Such changes as were made in the building during its existence did not involve any raising of its floor level; from the beginning this was well above the street. The walls, most of which had suffered severely, were of later date, constructionally, than those of the neighbouring house, No. 3 Church Lane, onto which they abutted.2

16352 (none) (none) (none) Terracotta ring. roughly shaped. [drawing 1:1]
16396 (none) 1931,1010.275 (none) Statuette of goddess. Standing on a rectangular plinth. Bronze(?) Solid casting. Standing figure draped in flounced kaukanes coat. High horned headdress. Hair done in a chignon at back to head, and 2 short fillets hang down in from of body just over shoulders. Arms appear to be bent at elbow, forearm held vertically against body. Rib runs down full length of back from chignon to top of plinth.
16408 31-43-2 (none) (none) Stamp seal. Circular, convex above of striped black and white marble, design almost entirely perished; worked mostly with the drill. [drawing 1:1]
16424 (none) 1931,1010.1 (none) Statue. White limestone, with eyes inlaid with shell and lapis; traces of black paint on hair. Female figure standing, hands clasped in front of the body. Nose broken, one eye pupil restored. The hair is simply treated with curls across the forehead, then a broad bandeau; the back hair is brought up & over the bandeau in a small chignon and hangs in a heavy wave above the shoulders & at back of head. She wears a plain chiton & heavy cloak falling from the shoulders over the arms in straight lines to the feet. The feet are missing, the base of the stone being broken away; when found the statue was let into a round baase and bitumen had been plastered round it & smoothed down so as to make a spreading skirt at the expense of loss of design to the figure, which was this reduced from an original height ofc. 54mm to 37mm (the bitumen has been kept on by waxing). It had also been broken in half and mended with bitumen. The workmanship is not very good, and the decayed surface of the stone does it less than justice - but the type is a good classical one. The statue was obviously an antiquity given a place of honor in a temple which must date to circ. BC; so that the date of the statue might well be as early as the 3rd dynasty of UR.
16425 (none) (none) (none) Statue. White limestone; broken in half but complete. The eyes inlaid with lapis, brown-painted shell and steatite, the nose of plaster, yellow paint on top of head. Female figure, standing rigid, the hands clasped in front of the body; she wears a long garment with 7 pleated flounces reaching to the ground, the arms hiden by the second flounce with seems to be a short cape. Two long tresses of hair hang down in front over the shoulders, the rest of the hair hangs down behind in a heavy square-cut netting. A bandeau passes across the forehead and also it rises a flat sharp-edged disk marked by criss-cross lines. It is painted yellow & may represent the (early) gold ribbon headdress; in the top of it at the back are 3 holes in which must have been stuck hed ornaments after the fashion of the (early) comos. The ears are pierced for metal ear0ring. The nose (perhaps because the original had been broken off(?) was made separately; there was a deep slot to fasten it on; one half of the nose modeled in plaster (out in bad condition & mishappen) was found and has been provisionally attacked. The figure is extraordinarily ugly, and the workmanship is flaccid and mechanical.
