This type of bowl was in use between c. 1850 and 1910 (Atkinson and Oswald 1969: type 30), and the thorn design was one of the many decorative types popular during this period (e.g. Ayto 1994:11; Hammond 2009: figure 7).\n\nClay tobacco pipes were manufactured (using two-piece moulds) in huge quantities in many towns and cities around the UK and were also imported from the Continent. They were cheap, highly disposable items, often given away with a pint of beer by the local publican. The short 'cutty' pipes were popular with working men as they could be smoked while working, whereas the longer pipes were more for smoking at leisure.\n\nThis clay pipe was found approximately 250 m outside the offshore designated area for the HMS Coronation wreck site. The period of the pipe's manufacture confirms that it is not associated with this vessel, which was wrecked in 1691. The pipe's location is thought to be within an extensive dumping site featuring artefacts dating from the 19th century through to the modern period.", "notes":"Although the clay pipe is not associated with HMS Coronation, there is still the potential for small and delicate items to be discovered beyond the extent of the protected areas that may be associated with the wreck.\n\nHMS Coronation was an English Royal Navy Second Rate ship of the line, armed with 90 guns. Built at Portsmouth Dockyard and launched in 1685, it was wrecked in a storm in 1691 off Rame Head, Cornwall, with the loss of approximately 600 lives (Lavery 1983: 162).\n\nAfter the discovery of the site in 1967, it was protected in 1978 under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973 (1978 - Coronation offshore Site 17; 1989 - Coronation inshore Site 33). The offshore site has an exclusion zone radius of 150 m, while the inshore site has an exclusion zone radius of 250 m.

Samian pottery is a mould-made, glossy red, mass-produced, fine tableware. It was first manufactured in northern Italy at the end of the 1st century BC, however by AD 43 production had moved to Gaul (France). The production of samian ware ended around AD 260.\n\nThe following interpretation is based on the photographs associated with this record. An examination of the fabric and surviving decorative elements may provide further information on the region of manufacture or production centre and the identity of the potter, which can indicate a more accurate date of production.\n\nImages 1 & 4:\n\nA sherd of the base of a samian vessel, form unknown.

AD 160 to AD 200.\n\nImages 2 & 5:\n\nThree decorated samian sherds that all appear to be from form 37 bowls and are suspected to be from Central Gaul. All three have surviving decorative elements.\n\nImage 3:\n\nThis smaller samian base sherd was probably part of a cup form. Interestingly, it has been observed that samian cup forms are very strongly represented in the Essex region, especially at rural sites, to a degree not seen elsewhere (Willis 2004).\n\nImage 5 (top right):\n\nThe form of this non-samian sherd suggests that it is of 1st or earlier 2nd century AD date.\n\nImages 6 & 8:\n\nThis is a Roman jug rim that was probably made in Britain.\n\nImage 7:\n\nThis is the rim of an imported Roman amphora.

Due to the ubiquitous nature of their design, it is difficult to accurately date cannonballs with any certainty. This issue is compounded by the wide variation in designs and calibres of the cannons that fired them and the lifespan of the weapon, with obsolete designs often still in use on merchant ships long after they had fallen out of service with the various navies of Northern Europe, who also used captured weapons on their vessels. Cast iron cannonballs are thought to have appeared at some point during the 15th century and were used as late as the last quarter of the 19th century, having gradually superseded stone cannonballs. By this time, rifled artillery had become the norm. From their general condition and flaking, these examples are heavily corroded. The round shot of speckled appearance could be granite, and may pre-date the cast iron round shot. An element of lead may also be involved in the manufacture of some of the shot in this assemblage.\n\nThe following potential identifications are based on the associated images for this record.\n\nImages 1, 2 & 4:\n\nLeft: 4\u00bc inch iron cannonball, originally weighing approximately 10 pounds. A shot of this size may have been fired by a demi culverin. Demi culverin guns fired round shot of 4 - 4\u00bd inch diameter weighing approximately 12 pounds (Collins 2016). The breaks may have happened after deposition due to the rusting and fracturing of iron.\n\nMiddle: 3\u00bc inch iron cannonball, originally weighing approximately 5 pounds. A shot of this size may have been fired by a saker. Saker guns fired round shot of 3 - 3\u00be inch diameter weighing approximately 6 pounds (Collins 2016).\n\nRight: 3\u00be inch iron cannonball, originally weighing approximately 7 pounds. A shot of this size may have been fired by a saker. This is only a fragment of the cannonball, about two-thirds remain.\n\nImages 3, 5 & 6:\n\nLeft: 2 inch stone shot (possibly granite), originally weighing approximately 1 pound. A shot of this size may have been fired by a falcon. Falcon ordnance of 2\u00bd inch calibre fired round shot weighing approximately 1\u00bd pounds (Collins 2016).\n\nMiddle: 1\u00be inch possible lead alloy shot, originally weighing approximately 12 ounces. A shot of this size may have been fired by a base. Base ordnance of 1\u00bd inch calibre fired round shot weighing approximately \u00bd a pound (Collins 2016).\n\nRight: 1\u00bc inch possible lead alloy shot, originally weighing approximately 4 ounces. A shot of this size may have been fired by a musket. A musket is a long gun, fired from the shoulder, which is muzzle-loaded and has a smooth bore (Collins 2016).", "classification":"Armour and weapons", "periodFrom":36, "periodTo":39, "fromdate":1600, "todate":1875, "treasure":1, "TID":"036\/17", "workflow":3, "institution":"MAS", "datefound1":"2016-09-14T00:00:00Z", "subClassification":"Ammunition", "currentLocation":"With finder", "created":"2016-09-28T09:40:32Z", "updated":"2017-04-13T10:06:30Z", "secuid":"9", "quantity":6, "material":8, "subsequentAction":"28", "completeness":2, "manufacture":1, "preservation":4, "discovery":5, "recorderID":"PAS57BC1B67001A23", "createdBy":2, "countyID":19687, "county":"Essex", "fourFigure":"TQ8182", "fourFigureLat":51.50793861, "fourFigureLon":0.60677648, "what3words":"workroom.fragments.went", "precision":10, "creator":"MAS MAS", "updatedBy":"MAS", "materialTerm":"Iron", "primaryMaterialBM":11019, "manufactureTerm":"Cast", "completenessTerm":"Incomplete", "preservationTerm":"Corroded", "periodFromName":"POST MEDIEVAL", "periodFromBM":"x41047", "periodToName":"NINETEENTH CENTURY", "broadperiodBM":"x41047", "discoveryMethod":"Coastal walking", "subsequentActionTerm":"Submitted as wreck to the Receiver of Wreck", "filename":"MAS100009Shot123a.jpg", "thumbnail":21, "imagedir":"images\/MAS", "recorder":"MF", "timestamp":"2024-10-09T14:13:34.028Z" } ], "facets":{ "objectType":{ "CLAY PIPE (SMOKING)":1, "FOOD AND DRINK SERVING CONTAINER":1, "SHOT":1 }, "county":{ "Essex":2, "Cornwall":1 }, "broadperiod":{ "NINETEENTH CENTURY":1, "POST MEDIEVAL":1, "ROMAN":1 }, "institution":{ "MAS":3 }, "rulerName":[ ], "denominationName":[ ], "mintName":[ ], "materialTerm":{ "Ceramic":2, "Iron":1 }, "workflow":{ "3":3 }, "reeceID":[ ] } }
