Part of what must have been a frieze along the stoa of the agora. It was not identified as such, but I do not see what it might be else.

Part of the necropolis. In the agora’s centre were numerous small sacred buildings and altars. Porticoes surrounding the square (stoa) date to the 2nd century. First construction was effectively never finished, as damage by earthquakes occurred. It was finished in the age of Justinian (6th century). In that period a Christian basilica was erected in the central-east zone of the agora. Around it was a vast necropolis, in use until the 15th century AD.

A group of cylindrical altars with wreaths and supporting bulls' heads, from the Hellenistic period. The simple moulding of some of these resembles the type from Rhodes, the greater elaboration of the others is more similar to the type from Kos.

In the garden of the museum (I recorded my remarks and think I said it was in the old fish market's building) a large architectural fragment. From another picture in Wiki Commons I understand this is a monumental Roman tomb from Iassos, it had the appearance of a small Corinthian temple on a very high podium.
