“…Although a few assemblages from individual features can be interpreted in a relatively straightforward manner, notably those linked to the Great Fire of London in 1666, 43 following an indictment for sodomy. 44 In some instances the immediate stimulus to deposit material, which was already unwanted but in some form of 'storage', was the desire to use it to aid percolation in features such as cesspits or planting beds, to backfill redundant features or in response to the dictates of authorities such as municipal councils. 45 Whatever the cause of the decision to dispose of material there would then be filtering processes, where items can be conceptualised as progressively losing status.…”

Throwing away everything but the kitchen sink? Large assemblages, depositional practice and post-medieval households in Cambridge

Developer-funded archaeologists investigating post-1750 sites in Britain frequently recover large assemblages of material, which appear to have been rapidly deposited in features by particular households or other groups. Such assemblages possess considerable interpretive potential, but this is yet to be fully exploited. This paper proposes a nuanced approach to the analysis of such assemblages, one that is critically aware of stratigraphic sequencing and historical deposition factors. Author Comments: Sorry to be so long in replying, I was a bit swamped by things and wanted to take a good look at the comments.

“…Material derived from The King's Arms, Uxbridge, deposited c. 1785-1800 was recovered from a brick-lined cistern (Pearce 2000). Other less useful inn related assemblages include the Royal Oak, Eccleshall (Boothroyd & Higgins 2005) and the Red Lion, Ansley (Melton 2005). There are few local East Anglian comparators; the best are the Falcon Inn, Castle Hedingham (Walker 2002) and White Hart, Kelvedon (Walker 2004).…”

The recovery of a large closely dated assemblage that can be unambiguously associated with a mid-late 18th-century Cambridge coffeehouse provides the first opportunity for a detailed consideration of material associated with these significant institutions. A cellar in Cambridge, England, backfilled c. 1775-80 produced a substantial assemblage of over 500 items; principally ceramics, but also including vessel glass, clay tobacco pipes, animal bone and other material. Marked items and assemblage composition allows this material to be unambiguously associated with Clapham's coffeehouse, run by William and Jane Clapham c. 1746/48-79. There were a substantial number of ceramics associated with tea drinking, coffee drinking vessels were frequent but less common and there was relatively little evidence for chocolate drinking. A range of alcoholic drinks were also consumed and dining was common, with a particular emphasis on snacks, whilst smoking appears to have been uncommon. The assemblage is compared with other groups associated with coffeehouses, a series of groups from earlier inns in the vicinity and broadly contemporary domestic assemblages from Cambridge and inn groups from England. The archaeological evidence indicates that the materialities of coffeehouses were not significantly different from inns and challenges some currently held views of coffeehouses. Additional Information: Question Response Author Comments: The vast majority of the changes that I have made relate directly to the reviewers/editors comments. I have also corrected a few minor typos/errors that I spotted and added a few things that I have come across in the last few months. The latter includes material from Chapman and Kostro 2016 and my article 'Throwing Away Everything but the Kitchen Sink?: Large Assemblages, Depositional Practice and Post-Medieval Households in Cambridge', which I feel it is now appropriate to reference as it Powered by Editorial Manager® and ProduXion Manager® from Aries Systems Corporation has been formally accepted by Post-Medieval Archaeology. There are a few instances where I have not followed the reviewers/editors comments: 1) Changing 'Manganese mottled' to 'Staffordshire-type mottled ware'. I have found the former term more common and don't think the ware is particularly closely associated with Staffordshire. I would prefer to stick with the current term, unless there is some official PMA policy. 2) The dating of Manganese mottled ware. I am not aware of any good discussions of this topic, the information is derived from a whole range of publications and websites. Given the relative lack of the material in this assemblage I don't feel it appropriate to go into this in depth that would be required. 3) The term 'Bell shaped' tankard and 'making up names for vessel shapes'. This is a fairly widely used term and as far as I know and there is other more common term. 4) Fig 38.1: I can see why it looks Notts/Derby type stoneware in the photo, but the fabric clearly isn't. 5) Describing some of the tin-glazed earthenwar...
