Glazed floor tile

Glazed floor tile

[016], F.19, <054>: a fragment near identical to those described above, with a similar dark
green glaze. It measures 30mm thick, and weighs 146g.

Worked Stone

Worked Stone

A single worked stone fragment was recovered from a stratified context. This consisted of a fine-grained bluish grey vesicular quernstone fragment that is identifiable as Niedermendig Műlstein lava (also known as Rhenish or Mayen lava) from the Eifel region in Germany (Kars 1983). Although such querns were frequently used during the Roman period, and are common finds on Middle and Late Saxon sites, they are much rarer in the Medieval period as their use was controlled following the Norman Conquest and many people were instead compelled to use centrally regulated mills (Watts 2002, 38-42). Therefore, although it occurred residually in a later context, this example is likely to be pre-12th century in origin.

[016], F.19, <058>: a Niedermendig Műlstein lava quern fragment. It measures 105mm by 96mm in extent and 30mm thick, and weighs 414g.

Glazed Floor Tile

Glazed Floor Tile

[015] (lower interface with [17]), F.18, <044>: two fragments, each of which bears a dark
green glaze. The first example measures 23mm thick and weighs 90g, whilst the second
measures 30mm thick and weighs 154g.

Unstratified Glass

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+).

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.

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.
