    I wouldnt say it would be worth alot of money and the museum has buckets of the stuff. Obviously depending on the date that could change. If you put up some pictures Im sure someone here could give you a type and date to the artefacts.

    The location is off the map to be anything earlier than 16th/17th century? Most probably much later if there is glass bottles associated in the same context as the pottery.

    That area of Dublin has definite medieval contexts from the 12th/13th centuries too. It was also part of the Priory of St John's estates so unless it was known what was found in relation to the artefacts, dating of pottery could be difficult. Similar types of ware where used from the 12th to the 18th centuries.

    I was present at this site during the testing and monitoring stages and we did find some early wares, eg. Bristol green glazed.

    We also found evidence of tanning industry but I am not sure if the site was subjected to a full excavation due to ity being well outside of the "zone of importance" to medieval Dublin :rolleyes:...
