Surrey-Hampshire Border Ware Drinking Jug
Amazingly, archaeologists found this jug unbroken in the bulwark ditch. Dating to the early 17th century, it was made in England by potteries along the border for Hampshire and Surrey counties. These thin-walled earthenware jugs, commonly used for drinking beer, rarely survived long after they were made. The drinking jug, like many other artifacts, indicated the archaeologists were digging on early 17th-century site. |
