of jug. The neck ornamented with multiple 

 grooving; the handle terminal pressed into the body 

 with one finger; the glaze a rich purplish brown, 

 reddish brown inside."- A common form manu- 

 factured in London al the close of the 17th century 

 and made elsewhere, including Yorktown, certainly 

 through the second quarter of the 18th century. 113

GERMAN SALT-GLAZED STONEWARE 



23. Large (Westerwald) tankard, base and lower body 

 sherds only. Stylized foliate and geometric orna- 

 ment incised and filled with cobalt on an extremely 

 pale-gray body: multiple cordons and grooves 

 above the base: two concave bands filled with 

 blue: the base slightly rising and scored with 

 haphazard lines before firing. T.N. 23.

 COARSE EARTHENWARES 



1. Cream pan of Yorktown (?) earthenware. 114 The 

 rim rolled; spout conjectural, based on others from 

 the same group; base slightly rising; exterior of 

 body above base displaying potting rings and 

 knife work; body containing small quantities of 

 quartz grit, pink-cored and yellow at the edges; 

 exterior unglazed but orange-pink slipped, and 

 the interior lead-glazed a ginger brown mottled 

 with iron. T.N. 24. 



2. Cream pan. The rim thickened, incurving and 

 undercut: ware as of no. 1, but the internal glaze 

 a darker brown; approximate diameter, 14 in. 

 T.N. 18. 



3. Cream pan. Similar to no. 1 but with spout 

 (from which the above was copied), and the exterior 

 slip somewhat more orange in color. T.N. 23. 



4. Cream p.m. With spout and rolled rim; the ware 

 red-bodied, flecked with quartz grit and red ocher; 

 exterior a deep red to black; internal glaze a dark 



eenish brown; approximate diameter, \4% in. 

 I .N. 23. 



5. Cream p.m. The rim thickened, incurving, and 

 undercut; body pale buff; exterior with pale- 



orange slip; internal glaze a lustrous purple, 

 presumably somewhat overfired. Fragments with 

 this colored glaze are among the many possible 

 wasters from Yorktown. Diameter approximately 

 14 in. T.N. 23. 



6. Cream pan. Unusual, shouldered rim sherd, 

 perhaps intended to take a cover; red body with 

 ginger-brow-n glaze; probably English. T.N. 4. 



7. Storage jar, body fragments only. Decorated 

 with medial grooves and applied trails pressed in 

 piecrust style beneath the missing rim; the body 

 gray-cored and red at the edges, coated with a 

 light-brown glaze flecked here and there with pale 

 green. Presumably English. T.N. 30. 



8. Rim fragment from small cup or pot. Hard 

 yellow body coated with a pale treacly glaze. 

 Probably Staffordshire. T.N. 18. 



9. Large cylindrical jar or bowl. The wall vertical, 

 undercut above the slightly spread foot. Hard 

 yellow body as above, coated with thick treacly 

 and streaky brown glaze of a color much later 

 often associated with Bennington. A rim sherd 

 from the same deposit is slightly everted, but since 

 the glaze is much lighter the piece may not belong 

 to the same vessel. Base diameter approximately 

 10 ! o in. Probably Staffordshire. An example 

 recently purchased by Colonial Williamsburg 

 (fig. 9) is dated 1721. T.N. 30. 



10. Storage jar. The rim everted and ridged in- 

 ternally, probably to seat a lid; gravel tempered, 

 pale-pink earthenware; internal dark apple-green 

 glaze. 115 West of England manufacture. T.N. 30. 



GLASS BOTTLES 



1 1 . Wine bottle of early short-necked form. Olive- 

 green metal; flat string-rim; the mouth everted over 

 rim. About 1680-1700. T.N. 30. 



12. Wine bottle with squat body, short and broad 

 neck, and roughly applied string-rim; olive-green 

 metal. The body type may normally be elated 

 around 1700, but some examples are 10 or 15 

 years earlier. 116 T.N. 30. 



13. Wine bottle of olive-green metal. Squatter than 

 the above, but the neck somewhat taller and the
