Pottery

[095], F.33: a 16th century or 17th century context. This was dominated by glazed red earthenware (34 sherds, weighing 494g), and also contained a quantity of Frechen stoneware (22 sherds, weighing 574g); three fragments bearing embossed decoration – including portions of two coats of arms – were identified. Also present were five sherds of bichromatic red earthenware (30g), six sherds of Babylon-type lead-glazed earthenware (71g), two sherds of tin-glazed earthenware (4g) and six sherds of plain red coarseware (216g), plus two residual sherds of 15th to 16th century Seigburg stoneware (33g), and two sherds of 13th to 15th century grey coarseware (15g).

Pottery

F.33: a 16th or 17th century context. This contained three fragments of green-glazed fineware, one of which represents a small but substantially complete two handled jug of unusual design (86g – not manufactured at Ely) and another a rim fragment of pierced fretwork form (8g). Also present were 18 sherds of Frechen stoneware, weighing 1102g and representing a minimum of three vessels, plus a single sherd of Seigburg stoneware (41g) and four sherds of Babylon-type lead-glazed earthenware (61g), one of which bears embossed decoration in the form of a face. Finally, two sherds of plain red coarseware (51g), and two residual sherds of 13th to 15th century grey coarseware (40g) were also recovered.

Glass

F.33, <013>: contained a ribbed body fragment that appears to have been derived from a beaker of cylindrical or pedestal form. This has been mould blown, and dates to the 16th or more probably 17th century (Willmott 2002). It weighs 2g. Three fragments of window glass were also present in this context.

Pottery

F.20: this contained a sherd of Essex red ware (8g), which is late 13th to 15th century in date with a 15th century floruit.

Worked Bone (Needle Case)

In addition to the strip, a number of unstratified fragments derived from a
worked bone needle case were also recovered from Trench 1.
Trench 1, <121>: a cylindrical worked bone needle case, which originally had a screw-on
lid at either end. It is incomplete, comprising nine fragments weighing 26g, and only one
lid is present. The body, which measures 68mm long by 25mm in diameter, has an
external thread at one end and an internal thread at the other. It is minimally decorated,
with a turned ring at either end. The surviving lid fitted the external thread, and
measures 35mm in diameter. Overall, the case is well made and appears to have been
machine-turned, suggesting that it is most probably 18th or 19th century in date.

Unstratified Glass

Trench 2: a number of fragments derived from a large onion bottle (of 17th/18th century date) were identified, along with the stems and the base of the bowls of two 18th century wine glasses. The stem of a 19th century wine glass was also identified, along with a near complete small rectangular 19th century bottle marked ‘Judson / London’. Finally, a minimum of two 19th century Codd bottles were present, each marked with the name of a Cambridge manufacturer (Woods, 1858+ and Ekin, c. 1841-57) as well as two local Lincoln beer bottles (1870+).
