Specialist reports
As part of the research project, the material culture specialists at the Museum of London Archaeology Service have produced a number of specialist reports on the artefacts found at our study sites, which can be downloaded here.

Animal bone report
Glass report *
Pottery reports: Limehouse; Sydenham; Westminster
Clay tobacco pipe report *
Registered finds report *

* These three specialist reports use the template and protocols that are specific to the way that MoLAS and its predecessors classify certain categories of finds. Throughout the reports, the terms bulk and registered finds (or small or special finds) are used. For example, in the glass report, bulk glass is used to classify bottles, phials and window glass etc., leaving more individual glass items, such as wine and drinking glasses, and inkwells etc. as registered finds and therefore issued with their own individual accession or catalogue number. For clay tobacco pipes unmarked or undecorated pipes are classified as bulk, whereas marked and decorated pipes are again provided with a unique accession number and therefore stored and boxed with the registered finds for the site.
