c'ciilmA. I)ul ,1 close piiralk'I was pro\idocl by a 

 lioiik" recovered from ihc wreck of the Dutch 

 vessel Huisle Craigenstein that foundered off the Cape 

 of Good Hope on May 27, 1698.**'" However, it is 

 not suggested that this is a Dutch bottle. 



2. Wine bottle. 01i\e-green glass; squat form with 

 neck rather taller than that of no. 1 and the bod\ 

 slightly thinner in the wall; V-shaped string-rim; 

 base missing. About 1700-1720, E3. 



3. Wine bottle. Half-l)ottle size; olive-green glass 

 appearing black in reflected light; weak shoulder 

 and shallow basal kick; neck missing. About 1~00- 

 1725. Neck conjectured on the basis of another of 

 characteristic form from deposit J2; body from K3. 



4. Pyrmont water bottle. Early continental Euro- 

 pean form; the glass much cleca\ed. suap\- to the 

 (ouch, and a matt black in color; tall tapering neck 

 with a roughly trailed string-rim V-shaped in 

 section; a conical liasal kick with rough pontil mark. 

 The "PiERMo.NT \v.^TER" seal illustrated as no. 8 in 

 fig. 16 is probably from this bottle. First quarter of 

 18th century.' F2, L2. 



.5. Wine bottle. Deep oli\e-green glass appearing 

 black in reflected light; weak shoulder; deep, domed 

 basal kick; V-shaped string-rim )i inch below the 

 lip. C.2. This is a transitional form between the 

 squat N'arieties and the early cylindrical shapes. 

 Examples of this type were plentiful in the cel- 

 lars of Robert "King" Carter's mansion, C^orotoman. 

 which burned in 1729. 



6. Wine bottle. Olive-green glass turned brown b\ 

 decay; substantial neck crudely cut at the lip with 

 a flat string-rim approximately ?i6 inch below it; 

 angular shoulder; body almost cylindrical; pro- 

 nounced, domed basal kick. This bottle is recon- 

 structed from fragments that do not represent a 

 section through it. J2. The type rnay be at- 

 tributed to the years 1730-174.5 with the emphasis 

 on the latter years. 



7. Wine bottle. Olive-green glass much iridescecl; 

 weak shoulder; V-shaped string-rim approximately 

 'fe inch below the lip; pronounced domed basal kick. 

 This bottle is comparable to no. ,5. Date range 

 about 1725-1735. F3. 



8. Wine bottle. Olive-green glass turned brown by 

 decay; .short cylindrical body but slightly waisted; 

 the shoulder spreading and angular; the neck 

 substantial with a thin and flat string-rim with the

mouth tooled outwards abo\e it; a high conical 

 basal kick. 1750-1765. B2. 



9. Bottle neck. 01i\e-green glass turned brown In 

 decay; angular shoulder; crudely trailed string-rim 

 wrapped around the neck at the same level as the 

 \ery roughly snapped mouth. No parallel has 

 been found for this unusual neck, but the color of 

 the glass and the nature of the decay might suggest 

 that it is a contemporary of no. 8. N2. 



10. Wine bottle neck. Amber-green glass appearing 

 black in reflected light and extremely well preserved; 

 neck unusually tall with a small V-shaped string-rim 

 close to the esenly cut mouth; shoulder angular and 

 apparently was attached to a cylindrical body. 

 The bottle might be compared with no. 1 of fig. 31. 

 It is unlikely to date any earlier than about 1760; 

 it could date as late as the 1790"s, bm in the present 

 context it cannot, of course, do so. J2. 



1 1 . Bottle base. Rich emerald-green glass, thick 

 walls; shallow domed basal kick with rough pontil 

 mark on the base. This is almost certainly of French 

 origin and must presttmably date somewhere be- 

 t\veen about 1750 and 1772. C2. 



Figure 31 



1. Wine bottle. Olive-green glass appearing black 

 in reflected light; cylindrical body with pronounced 

 shoulder; tall neck and V-shaped string-rim close 

 to the smoothly trimmed lip; shallow domed basal 

 kick. This type could have been made at any date 

 between about 1760 and the 1790"s, but in the 

 present context is limited to the bracket between 

 about 1760 and 1772. 02. 



2. Wine bottle. Rich olive to emerald-green iri- 

 descent glass; broad cylindrical body; angular 

 shoulder; V-shaped string-rim approximately ^e 

 inch below the lip; lip tooled outwards abo\e the 

 constricting string-rim; shallow basal kick, which, 

 having been thrust upwards, stuck to the pontil 

 iron and was drawn dow^n again when the tool was 

 remn\-ed. Third quarter of 18th century. 02. 



3. Wine bottle neck. 01i\e-green glass appearing 

 black in reflected light; string-rim applied as a thick 

 trail and tooled upwards toward the lip; lip tooled 

 outwards so that it and rim together blend into a 

 single collar; neck somewhat constricted below 

 the string-rim. Examples of this type ha\'e been re- 

 co\ered from wrecks of vessels sunk off Yorktown 

 in 1781. The form is late and would be surprising 

 in anv context prior to about 1770.
