Context (Found together / assemblage)
Found, unaccessioned, in a box marked ‘Cherry Hinton’; the material was assigned the TEMP number TEMP.01750 along with the other material with the C LCS site code, and each bag has been given a suffix. The site code identifies it as being from the Law Courts excavation on Castle Hill, excavated in 1956.

Context (Found together / assemblage)
There is a sherd from a Samian ware vessel in this bag that fits together with a sherd from a different idno: TEMP.01743 B. These two sherds have different site codes on, but clearly fit together - there is the remains of adhesive along the edge that fits so clearly they have been reconstructed at some point. It is not clear what has happened but this may possibly help to eventually identify what the C Q site code refers to.
