amined this fragment and has suggested that it 

 comes from a mirror of the period 1690-1720. A2. 



10. Neck fragment from wine bottle. Glass appar- 

 ently calcined, possibly through having been inad- 

 vertently included in the burning of oyster-shell 

 mortar. The presence of shell mortar attached to 

 all the sides and broken edges cf the fragment tend 

 to support such a conjecture. Third quarter of 1 8th 

 century. D2. 



11. Neck fragment from perfume (?) bottk-. Pale 

 blue-green glass; lip slightly thickened but not 

 everted. A .series of stria tions towards the lower 

 edge of the fragment are comparable to those on 

 the neck of a bottle of similar glass found in a sealed 

 deposit in VV'illiamsburg. The latter bottle (E.R. 

 140. 27B) has an oval body and conical base, both 

 decorated with molded vertical ribbing; the neck 

 possesses the same striations at the top of the ribs but 

 is tooled outwards at the mouth to provide a flaring 

 lip. It is suggested that the mouth of the Rosewell 

 item would have been the same had it been tooled, 

 thus expanding and, at the same time, thinning the 



wall. In consequence a conjectural reconstruction 

 has been indicated, using this neck atop the Wil- 

 liamsburg body, which comes from a sealed deposit 

 with a terminal date of about 1745. A2. 

 12. Base cf pharmaceutical bottle. Clear lead glass; 

 conical kick with traces of pontil mark. Clear 

 bottles of this type gradually took the place of the 

 green and blue-green forms during the second half 

 of the 18th centurv. F2.
