Context (Found together / assemblage)
The objects in this box are marked with the excavation number 'CC' followed by a sequential letter (A - E) and a small finds number. It is not clear which site 'CC' refers to, although whoever boxed them guessed that it could be Cherry Hinton. Ben Donnelly-Symes, Archaeological Officer (HER) at the Cambridgeshire County Council, wrote in July 2018 to say that they have "two boxes of bulk find archive with the code CC with the same subsequent lettering. However, our database has no event number, name of the site, originator (except one) or year. One of the database entries does have the name John Alexander attached and from what the labelling system is like, it does look like one of his sites. They also a note stating that the box’s date range is 1957 to 1973 so that would fit with John Alexander’s excavations. Which one exactly is a good question though. It could be something to do with his work near to the Castle but none of the codes match up there.' John Alexander has been tentatively added as the excavator here.
