NAUTICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 6.3
rings for green glass bottle have been found; although basically of the same shape, there are several variations in details of design. Only one stamp has so far been found, although at least two variants are known; an example is shown in Fig. 18.
J. Pewter objects
Nine lengths of pewter handle, almost certainly all for spoons, together with seven parts of handles with at least a section of bowl attached, and one detached spoon bowl, have been re- covered. In addition, five complete spoons have been found:
J6. Pewter spoon, with ‘W’ scratched on the bowl (73 K 307; Site F, -124-5.1) (Fig.
19).
J9. Pewter spoon, with rose and crown strike,
indicating quality of pewter (74 K 51; Site
F, -144-4.8) (Fig. 19).
J10. Pewter spoon with indecipherable strike,
but apparently also a rose and crown (74 K
60; Site F , -14.0/-4.5).
J11. Pewter spoon, with rose, crown and cross
strike (74 K 68; Site F, -13-21-6-5) (Fig. 19).
J21. Pewter spoon, with rose and crown strike (76 K 162; Site F, -134-0.7).
A few intriguing pewter fragments are worth
noting.
514. A pewter neck or similar object, with an
internal diameter of about 0.012m, and a very crude screw thread (74 K 4; Site F, - 144-2.3).
J19. A pewter ring-like object, 0.024 m in dia- meter, with an eccentric hole of 0.008 m dia- meter (76 K 154;Site G, -13.411-3).
K. Lead objects
About 20 pieces of lead sheeting have been found, most of them with no discernible shape, and possessing no nail holes. One piece was almost precisely 9 in square (0.033 m) (73 K 239; Site A, 2.2132-9). Other lead objects included:
K4. A lead tag, with a partially worn inscription involving a cross design (73 K 249; Site A, 4.3/30.6) (Fig. 20).
K5. Another lead tag, with a different cruci- form inscription (73 K 272; Site B, 6.0/ 24.0) (Fig. 20).
