A fragment of a glass vessel, perhaps a bottle. The glass is pale green and contains some air bubbles. It is thickly patinated with an iridescent surface. The breaks are also patinated. The fragment curves but has no diagnostic features. It was found in an area producing lots of Roman finds, but it is not certain whether this is Roman or later. The thickness of the wall may suggest a Post Medieval date.

Description by Nicholas Thomas: This is a notched flake. The ventral face has a notch in its right edge, worked from both faces. Which is the proximal/distal end is not clear because the piece is abraded. The flint is mottled black in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble by the look of its primary cortex. Butler (2005) illustrates a similar piece on Page 131 Fig 55 No 5 which he calls a notched flake and dates to the Neolithic period.

A worn copper alloy token probably issued by a merchant. The lettering is still legible and appears to spell the name William Ingham in a legend that runs around the edge. The reverse side is heavily corroded. As had been the case in the mid seventeenth century it was private traders and industrialists who brought about the revival in the use of token coinage in Britain during the late 1780s. The reasons for resorting to a token coinage was again due to a dearth in the circulating levels of regal copper coinage and the lettering suggest a fairly recent date, c. AD 1750-1850. The huge …
