Barrels and casks

During the research campaigns 1967–1973, the round wooden barrels and casks were recorded in three dimensions, of which those with a height of 55 cm and diameter of 40 cm contained the rolls of sheet brass, those that are 70 cm high and 50 cm in diameter contained white lead ingots, and those that are 100 cm high and 70 cm in diameter held parts of wall sconces.

During the research resumed in 2012, the containers about 45–50 cm heigh, and about 30 cm in diameter were recorded, containing lead white ingots. The half preserved oval barrels, around 80–90 cm heigh, contained red ochre.

Other containers

Among the other wooden packaging, baskets, boxes and crates were registered at the site. The published data indicate that the baskets were used as packaging for the glass cups and window panes, the small crates (30 x 30 x 75 cm) for the tin rods; the large crates of unknown dimensions for parts of hanging chandeliers; the larger crates (80 x 110 cm) for cinnabar ingots; the somewhat smaller crates (80 x 53 x 37 cm) and boxes (54 x 30 x 18 cm) for the razors, and the long oval boxes (ca. 40 x 25 x 20 cm) for the brass bells.
