14. Wine bottle of squat form, olive-green metal. 

 The neck taller than in no. 12 and the string-rim 

 smaller and V-shaped. 118 Seal, on the shoulder, 

 bears the legend "Richard Burbydge 1701." 



I.\ 



15. Wine botde of squat form, olive-green metal. 

 Somewhat bulbous and the shoulder weak, the 

 string-rim broad and flat. 119 A slighdy earlier 

 form than no. 14. The botde has a seal on its 

 shoulder with the initials "F i" (Frederick Jones) 

 stamped from a single matrix. 120 T.N. 30. 



16. Wine bottle of somewhat unusual form. The 

 metal thin olive green has mined black through 

 decay which has almost entirely destroyed the metal. 

 The body round-shouldered, and bulbous in the 

 early manner: bul the neck tall and the string-rim 

 almost round-sectioned rather than V-shaped as 

 one might expeet of a bottle of this basic form. 

 Were it not for the soft curve of the body and the 

 shape of the string-rim this bottle might be attrib- 

 uted to the third decade of the 18th century. 

 Note brass wire, still attached to neck, that held 

 cork in place. T.N. 30. 



17. Wine bottle of half-bottle size. The metal as in 

 no. 16; shoulder angular; neck somewhat writhen 

 with a broad and flat string-rim of 17th-century 

 character. Without the last feature (and its 

 context) this bottle might be thought to date as 

 late as 1723. T.X. 3D. 



IS. Wine botde, olive-green metal. Short cylindrical 

 body with conical basal kick, straight neck, and 

 down-tooled string-rim. Dated examples occur in 

 i he late 1730's, but are more common in the follow- 

 ing decade. T.N. 23. 



19. Wine-bottle neck of olive-green metal in an 

 advanced state of decay. Wide mouth with everted 

 lip and large round-sectioned string-rim of unusual 

 character. The angular shoulder suggests that the 

 neck comes from a body comparable to that of no. 

 12. T.N. 31. 



20. Fickle jar, e\ ei (ed-mouth fragments only. Olive- 

 green metal in an advanced stage of decay, originally 

 with square bod) in the manner of the more common 

 case bottles. 121 T.N. 18. 



FIGURE 20. MISCELLANEOUS SMALL FINDS 



1. Harness ornament, plated brass. (See fig. 17, no. 

 12.) T.N. 17. 



2. Harness fitting, brass. (See fig. 17, no. 13.) T.N. 

 15. 



3. Brass button. Hollow cast; both back and front 

 convex; the back with two molding holes on either 

 side of the flat-sectioned brass loop, which spreads 

 directiy from the back without any intermedial \ 

 shank. Such buttons were common in the second 

 half of the 17th century and the first quarter of the 

 18th century. 11 ' 2 Diameter, % in. T.N. 23. 



4. Brass curtain ring. The shape cast and then 

 roughly filed flat on either side. This method of 

 manufacture is typical of the 17th and 18th cen- 

 turies. Diameter, 1 in. T.N. 24. 



5. Ornamental brass band from shaft or hilt of un- 

 certain form. The band has become flattened and 

 folded, and the condition of the metal precludes 

 regaining iis original shape. However, the band is 

 almost certainly a truncated cone, ornamented with 

 .i roughly cutout and scored foliate decoration at 

 the narrow end and plated with a thin band of silver 

 at the other end. Length, \% 6 in. T.N. 18. 



6. Millefiori or chevron bead of yellow and black glass, 

 almost certainly Venetian. 123 The bead is flattened 

 on its pierced axis and has a diameter of % in. This 

 example is probably of 17th-century date, but the 

 technique can be traced back to Roman times. 

 T.N. 30. 



7. Chinese export porcelain-cup fragment. Deco- 



ither example is illustrated b) Noei Hume, "Th( Gla 

 Wine Bottle," op. cit. (footnote 56), fig >, typi 



"■ [bid., lis;. 3, type <>, illustrates a similar example. 

 3, type 3, shows another example. 

 All othei Junes seals from T.N, 30 and T.N. 31 were 

 combinations of single-letter matrices. See 



121 A similar though slightly smaller neck came from T.N. 16, 

 and a square base, probably from an ordinary case bottle, was 

 among the surface finds. Another example is illustrated in 

 Noel Hume, "Excavations at Rosewell," p. 181, fig. 11, no. 13.

123 Colorful beads of this character were frequently used as 

 Indian trade goods and are found in Indian graves in Virginia 

 and elsewhere. A long-established legend that beads were 

 manufactured at the Jamestown glasshouse is without archeo- 

 logical evidence. Although many beads have been found on 

 the slums of the James River near Jamestown, there is reason 

 to suppose that all those of European form were imported.
