Besides the Early Christian capitals and other architectural elements witnessing to the presence of a submerged large church at Chatby, Professor Bianchi, who I recently met, when looking at photographs of some of our finds in the region did say that what we considered as part of the lid of a sarcophagus is in fact part of a bread-presentation table, an artifact dating probably to the 4th cent. A.D. where 12 round loafs of bread were placed on such tables. I expect to receive photographs of parallel similar finds.
This is going to be very exciting indeed and I plan to attend some of the work and send back pictures via my blog. Hope you will all stay tuned.
