Archaeology — Early Medieval; 1240-1270
Pot, cooking pot
Along with other domestic vessels, this cooking pot was found in a cesspit behind a medieval house on Milk Street which, in 1276, belonged to Bonamicus 'Jew of York'. The pot was made in the south Hertfordshire region and is of a type that was popular in medieval London. It has a slightly sagging base, which may have helped it to sit on a trivet above the fire during cooking. In 1290 King Edward I ordered the expulsion of all Jews from England.
