[13] Seven courses surviving, top at 2 ft. 2 in. below modern grade.

and 7-1/2 in. by 4-1/4 in. by 2 in. (dark red).
[14] A late 17th-or very early 18th-century house at Tutter's Neck in

excavated powder magazine of 1736 exhibited similar construction.

[17] See footnote 27.
[18] The undercutting is shown on the plan (fig. 3, area H) as a
straight-edged unit. This has been done for the sake of neatness, but
it should be noted that there was actually a series of holes that
presented an extremely ragged appearance.
[19] An unusual lead-glazed earthenware rim sherd from a jar was
probably from the same pot as other fragments (fig. 15, no. 14) found
in the cellar hole.

of Straten Major in ye County of King and Quine ... to Learn ye said
orphant ye art of Coopery."

[22] Thomas Jones was the younger brother of Frederick Jones, whose
James City County home site at Tutter's Neck was excavated in 1961. See

History and Technology_; U.S. National Museum Bulletin 249; Washington:
Smithsonian Institution), 1965, fig. 20, no. 8. Hereafter cited as
_Tutter's Neck_. A fragment of a lead-glass gadrooned Romer of the same
period as the Clay Bank stem was found on the Tutter's Neck site.
