Unstratified Pottery

A total of 359 sherds (7265g) were recovered from unstratified deposits encountered in Trenches 1 and 2. This represents 57.3% of the total assemblage by count, and 57.4% by weight. As Table 2 demonstrates, a very similar range of fabrics are represented as were recovered from the stratified deposits discussed above. No vessels of inherent significance were identified.

Glass

A number of stratified contexts at the site contained fragments of glass. The majority of this material, however, consisted of window glass, or else was derived from 19th century vessels of minimal interest. Nevertheless, four contexts were identified that did contain significant material. These comprise 015, 043, 096, and 097.

In addition, a relatively large glass assemblage was recovered from unstratified deposits in Trenches 1 and 2. Although the majority of the material was very modern in date, the finds also included <127>

Glass

Glass

F.18, <035>: contained a base fragment derived from a cylindrical bottle, or possibly a goblet. It weighs 4g, and is post-Medieval in date. Two fragments of window glass were also present in this context.

Glass

Glass

F.16, <091>: contained a mixed assemblage. This included neck fragments derived from two hand blown phials or perfume bottles (4g and 1g respectively). These are probably 17th or 18th century in date. The context also contained three fragments of window glass and two intrusive fragments derived from 19th or early 20th century vessels.

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.

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+).

Clay Tobacco Pipe

A significant, although poorly stratified, assemblage of clay tobacco pipes (MNI 50) was recovered. The assemblage is predominantly 17th to 18th century in date, although at least one 19th century fragment is present. The assemblage is notable for the presence of six pipes with the initials IK; these were produced by James Kuquit of Cambridge who was active c.1713-50. Two of these have a stamped mark of a crown in relief, on the base of the heel; this particular combination has not been recognised previously. The presence of clay tobacco pipe in a context indicates a date of. c.1580+. Bowls have been categorised using the Oswald general typology (1975). Information on makers derives largely from Cessford (2001), although subsequent unpublished research has modified some of the identification and dating of manufacturers.
