Description One original edge on the left side of the fragment. In the left upper part two rows of rooms are separated by a rectangular space. These possibly continue on fragment 141ab. The corner of a structure is visible in the bottom left corner. The right half of the fragment is dominated by an open area.

Identification: possible connection with 141ab The boundary incision matching algorithm conducted at Stanford proposed a possible match for fragments 194 and 141ab (Koller-Levoy 2005, 8, fig. 20). 5 pairs of corresponding incised linear features angling across the slab boundary resulted in a high matching score. Two of the matching sets of incisions were annotated as the front of a row of rooms, and another two as the back of a row of rooms; the fifth set of matching incisions, less definitive than the others, appears as if it may represent the border of a rectangular space. Though we have not yet researched potential placements on the wall for this hypothetical new fragment group, it contains a number of constraining elements useful for its possible positioning. Fragment 141 has a rough back surface and should fit into the corner of a slab, whereas fragment 194 has a smooth back and is only 38mm thick, so it must originate from an unusually thin slab.
