Pesachim 8

One searches by lamp, not a torch, From the fear that his house he might scorch. Plus in holes that are cramped, They are better belamped. But by sunlight you can search a porch.

To Preserve Ancient Mosaics, Experts Are Burying Them Underground

The Getty Conservation Institute has undertaken numerous mosaic reburials in Tunisia, Lebanon, and Cyprus over the years.

This is what's done at the end of excavations normally, burying the uncovered remains with clean sand or sand marked to make identification of it as backfill possible. I'm not sure why it hasn't been done with mosaics, which are arguably more friable than stone architecture.

Tefillin were worn by Michal, Who's a princess, the daughter of Saul. Did the rabbis object? They did not. In effect Saying these are not time-bound at all!

Eruvin 100

If on Friday day you climb an oak, And stay till Havdalah is spoke, Or camp out on a horse All of Shabbos, of course You're transgressing, and that ain't no joke.
