About 1670-1690. T.N. 30. 106 



11. Rim fragment from plate. The glaze slightly 

 pink, narrow marly decorated with alternating 

 lozenge and diamond motif in light blue (see no. 10) 

 bordered by a single and double line of the same 

 color. At least two concentric circles adorned the 

 floor of the plate, but no evidence of the central 

 design survives. Early 18th century. T.N. 23. 



12. Pedestal foot and base of salt or cup. The foot 

 conical and shelved internally; the bowl flat-based 

 and with the rolled terminal of a small handle at 

 one side; the glaze somewhat gray. The foot 

 decorated with three somewhat irregularly drawn 

 rings in light blue; the bowl ornamented with rudi- 

 mentary floral devices; and the handle terminal 

 decorated with two horizontal bars of dark blue, 

 perhaps beneath a vertical, stalked flower. Late 

 17th century (?). T.N. 24. 



INDIAN POTTERY 



13. Bowl with flattened and slightly everted rim. 

 Colono-Indian 1CI7 pottery, pebble- or stick-bur- 

 nished, with pink surface; extensive tool marks on 

 the exterior; the ware flecked with red ocher and few 

 traces of shell. T.N. 23, T.N. 24. 108 



14. Shallow bowl or pan with flattened and everted 

 rim. Colono-Indian pottery; the ware buff and 

 heavily shell-tempered and retaining traces of sur- 

 face burnishing. T.N. 23. 



15. Rim and wall fragment of bowl with roughly 

 flattened and everted rim. Colono-Indian pottery, 

 the body pale buff and finely shell-tempered. 

 T.N. 19. 



16. Rim sherd from bowl of local Indian pottery. 

 Lip thickened and slightly incurving; body pink to 

 buff and coarsely shell-tempered; the exterior 

 stick-burnished. T.N. 19. 



106 The smaller base fragment was found in stratum T.N. 17, 

 a much later context than the rest. If this fragment does come 

 from the same dish, it must be assumed that the fragments were 

 scattered and that the sherd was moved in fill dug from an 

 earlier deposit. 



107 A name coined to describe pottery made by the Pamunkey 

 Indians and others in the 18th century that was copied from 

 English forms and sold to the colonists, presumably for use by 

 those who could not afford European wares. See Ivor Noel 

 Hume, "An Indian Wave of the Colonial Period," Quarterly 

 Bulletin of the Archeological Society of Virginia (September 1962), 

 vol. 17, no. 1, pp. 2-14. 



10s The bowl was important in that the presence of its frag- 

 ments deep in both T.N. 23 and T.N. 24 indicated that both 

 Pits D and E were filled at approximately the same time. 



17. Rim and wall fragment of cup ill bowl, 

 the rim slightly everted by tooling beneath it. 

 Colono-Indian pottery; body pinkish buff with 

 traces of red ocher in the clay; exterior surface 

 highly burnished. It is possible that the fragment 

 came from a vessel comparable to that shown in 

 figure 12, which was found in excavations at 

 Williamsburg. 109 T.N. 23. 



BROWN SALT-GLAZED STONEWARES 



18. Body and handle terminal fragments from pint 

 (?) tankard. Mottled purplish-brown exterior and 

 reddish-brown interior; the rim conjectural and 

 the lower body and basal section modeled on no. 19. 

 Probably of English manufacture, London or 

 Bristol. 110 T.N. 1. T.N. 4. 



19. Basal and wall fragments of pint (?) tankard. 

 Similar in form to the above. Two fragments 

 present, one with the beginning of the red slip 

 that becomes mottled brown in firing, a feature 

 that normally extends from the midsection upwards 

 to the rim. The lower body is gray, as is the interior; 

 the foot is ornamented with a ridge, cordon, and 

 double ridge. T.N. 17. 



20. Rim sherd of quart (?) tankard. Burnt; the rim 

 thinned from the inside and ornamented on the 

 outside with a single groove; dark purplish-brown 

 mottling on the exterior, a little of the slip from 

 which extends over the interior of the rim. T.N. 23. 



21. Jug or drinking pot. Bulbous body with good 

 quality tooling at the shoulder; handle with single 

 groove down the spine; the base and neck con- 

 jectural, but modeled after the forms produced l>\ 

 Dwight of Fulham in the late 17th century. 111 The 

 ware is a pale gray and appears white beneath the 

 internal salt glaze. It is possible that this is an 

 example of the use of the white salt-glazed body 

 conceived by Dwight, and that it may have 

 from his factory. The refined clay enables the 

 ware to be think- and finely potted IX. 1. 



22. Neck, shoulder, and handle-terminal fragments

1111 Brown stonewares similar to those commonly attributed 

 to Fulham. but more correctly called London, were manu- 

 i.i, tured at Yorktown by William Rogers in the second quarter 

 of the 18th century. See footnote 67.

 ing Tudor rose and initials of Charles II. is illustrated in
