No worries Steven,
the pottery is of a Bronze Age fabric, but of an unknown form, however the specialist has only briefly assessed it (the project hasn't gone to analysis yet). The plugs look organic, maybe wax or resin of some kind. I'm employed by a comercial unit, the layden jar idea is the only explanation anyone has come up with yet as the fragments look like crude batteries. This made me think of why there was so many and what did they power that would cause such a uniform burning pattern...?? Jump-starting a flying saucer maybe....Oh hang on its passed noon.......april fool (ish)
