Description: | A sherd of a glass vessel of post-medieval date. The sherd is a small translucent blue glass fragment which appears yellowish-green when held up to the light. Some small air bubbles appear within this shard along with a vein of white running through it and traces of possible burning to one end.The sherd is 18.9mm long, 13.7mm wide, 4.2mm thick and weighs 1.4g.Jennifer Price, Emeritus Professor at Durham University, states that the sherd is likely to be from a post-medieval wine bottle. Dr Birgitta Hoffmann, University of Liverpool, states that such fragments are very common items found frequently on fieldwalking sites, which have had 18/19th century night soil and they appear to be some sort of industrial glass.
