Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Begins with the `Excavation', a report by Kevin Fryer, Andrea Selley [Shelley] & John D Boas (139--41) on the emergency investigation of the pit and associated medieval and later structures that were revealed during building work. The pit contained a large and coherent assemblage of a variety of artefacts dating from c 1650--1714 and deposited c 1702--14. `Documentary evidence' discussed by Shirley Corke (147--54) identifies the properties in the vicinity of the site, from where the artefacts are likely to have originated. `A report on analysis of the archaeological sample from 16 Tunsgate, Guildford' by Vaughan D Williamson (154--5) suggests, on the evidence of a bulk soil sample, that the pit was either a cess-pit, a sump for drainage from a stable or a pit for garden refuse. The important collections of pottery and glass vessels are discussed in detail, and a Spot-testing of the composition of the glass, undertaken by local `A'-level chemistry students, is reported in `Analysis of lead in glass' by P R Scott (189). Other finds covered are metalwork, tobacco pipes, and building material. A silver half crown of Charles II is discussed by Mary Alexander (196--7). `Food remains: the bones and shells' are examined by Pippa Smith & Dale Serjeantson (208--22). | ||||||||||||||
