Context (Amendments / updates)
1980.320 includes pottery sherds from multiple time periods, as well as shards of glass. The decision has been taken to split them out into three groups, each with a different suffix: 'A' for pottery sherds that are likely Roman, 'B' for pottery sherds that are likely Medieval or Post Medieval, and 'C' for the glass shards.
