Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two joining sherds from the rim of a large open bowl in a North Devon gravel-tempered fabric of late medieval to early post-medieval date. The sherd has oxidised orange surfaces and margins, and a reduced mid-grey/brown core. The rim is flared and slightly dished, with a flat, angled top and a slightly wavy outer edge. About 40 mm below the rim there is an internal ridge and at this point the wall angle changes, becoming steeper. There is a small splash of glaze beside the ridge.
Measurements: 47 mm maximum height, 68 mm maximum width, weight 42.36 g overall

Object type: FLOOR TILE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a medieval ceramic floor tile of late 13th/14th century date. It consists of only around a fifth of the original tile, from one corner. The tile has a flat upper and lower face and slightly bevelled sides, to judge from the small surviving section of side. The remains of a glazed design can still be seen on the upper face, inlaid to c. 1mm. This consists of an olive/honey glaze on a red/brown clay with reduced grey centre visible at the break at the corner. The design is formed of a broken circle set towards the sides, interrupting by the ends of arcs of four other circl…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The broken bowl of a post-medieval clay tobacco pipe broken at its junction with the stem. The bowl is also broken, with large losses at the front and the back of the mouth. The bowl is swollen, convex curved between the mouth and heel on both sides and projects out over the heel. The mouth is at an angle to the heel. The circular flat heel projects only a little from the base of the bowl. It is stamped with the maker's mark, in this case the incuse initials R H in capital letters within an unclear border probably formed of small triangles. The bowl has a rouletted/milled row of inden…

The broken bowl of a post-medieval clay tobacco pipe broken at its junction with the stem resulting in the loss of around half of the bowl. The bowl is swollen, convex curved between the mouth and heel on both sides and projects out over the heel. The mouth is parallel to the heel. The sub-circular flat heel projects only a little from the base of the bowl. It is stamped with the maker's mark, in this case the incuse letters P W / TAVN / TON within a stamped border formed of small triangles.

Object type: PIPE (SMOKING)
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The heel of a post-medieval clay tobacco pipe together with the broken stem and vestigial bowl. The bowl has been largely lost to a ragged old break. The flat is broadly circular. It is stamped with the maker's mark, in this case the neat, seriffed incuse letters . IEF ./FRY . H/[V]NT; no border is visible. The stem is 9.4mm in diameter at the break with an off centre hole 2.9mm in diameter.
The maker's name, Jeffry Hunt, is well documented in the local literature with examples known from Taunton (Leach 1984, 145-146; refs. 17, 18), dated c. AD 1650-1690.

A rim sherd probably from a glazed post-medieval open vessel, such as a large dish. The piece is now an irregular quadrilateral shape with a light-orange colour through the core to the external surfaces. The rim is everted and a thickened wedge shape. The body has a soapy feel with some micaceous inclusions. There is some dark-green glaze surviving internally within parallel radial grooves, the remainder of deep sgraffito work. The sherd has received some sooting to its external surface at one corner.

Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small body sherd with sparse flat, angular pieces of stone (up to 5-6mm), and poorly sorted moderated quartz sand temper, with some finer material. The piece is broken on all sides. It is shallowly curved in profile. It appears to have a dark-grey slip over a light-grey core. The rough surface, especially internally, would suggest a medieval date, as would thin thin walls, although an earlier date cannot be ruled out entirely.

Object type: BRIQUETAGE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of briquetage of Roman date. The briquetage, coarse ceramic material, is irregular in shape with only one surviving original flat surface. This latter is more oxidised than the core and bears imprints possibly of organic material.
Briquetage is the name for coarse fired ceramic objects, evaporating vessels and supporting pillars, used in the production of salt. There is a known saltworks at East Huntspill and therefore unsurprising that this fragment was found here. The ceramic supporting pillar is not closely datable but salt working is known in this area from the…

An rim sherd from a glazed medieval vessel, possibly a jar or similar (c. 1200 - c. 1425 AD). It has an trapezoidal shape and is everted in profile towards the rim, which itself is flared externally and expanded slightly internally (Th.: up to 10.4mm). In plan the ?rim is gradually curved. Below the rim is a zone decorated with impressed diagonal marks in a row. Below this the top part of the vessel curves out in an external lipped ridge; the body of the vessel continues downwards, narrowing from this point which represents the location of an old break. The fabric is fine and sandy.…

A group of three body sherds from a medieval unglazed jar. All three are irregular in shape with fairly fresh breaks. Two are curved, the other angled. The fabric is generally fine and sandy (Winchester type series fabric MDF), with wiping and light scratch marks on the surface. Externally they have an oxidised mid-orange/brown colour, but sooted, with reduced light-grey core. The internal surface is dark grey from sooting from a cooking fire. They vary in length from 54.7 to 69.2mm and are up to 6.4mm thick. A combined weight is given below.

A rim sherd from a large medieval unglazed jar. The rim is everted with a beaded edge. The rim splays out at a forty-five degree angle. The fabric is generally fine and sandy (Winchester type series fabric MDF), with wiping and light scratch marks on the surface. At the break are the beginnings of an applied handle with thumb depressions. Externally it has an oxidised pale orange/brown colour, with reduced light-grey core.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A body sherd from a a vessel such as a cooking pot or pitcher of possible late early-medieval date. It is a rough quatrefoil in form with abraded breaks. Its exterior is decorated with nested curved V-shaped grooves creating bands of waves. Alternate bands are further decorated with a row of punch marks along their centres. The fabric is sandy, with an orange/brown colour. It has been suggested that this might be from a Michelmersh ware vessel, a wheel thrown type of the 10th or 11th centuries AD (Helen Rees pers. comm. 12 September 2012).
