upper diameters never exceed 0.28 m, for a height of 0.19-0.27 m. 165 Their widths would
have supported, in theory, even small and medium-sized column shafts, based on
Asgari’s classification (see Table 10). It is likely, but not certain, that these stands served
as supports for the basins coming from the same shipwreck. While Table 15 summarizes
the matching elements, Table 16 itemizes the stands that do not match any of the
surviving basins. It needs to be stressed that, however, only 7 out of 13 basins and 11 out
of 15 pedestals are preserved; so it is likely that some matching elements are missing.
