SUMMARY

An excavation on the eastern side of Sutton Harbour, Plymouth, uncovered the remains of a sugar house and related buildings. Documentary evidence confirms that the sugar house was built anew around the middle of the 17th century and remained active for at least a century, being out of use by 1754. The excavation has produced a large assemblage of ceramics used in the refining of sugar, but very little of it is of local manufacture. Once the sugar house ceased functioning, the ceramics were discarded on site and used to infill structures and build new surfaces. The assemblage includes ceramic forms not previously catalogued in sugar-refining before.

普利茅斯的糖精炼：萨顿港船坞的考古发掘

概括

在普利茅斯萨顿港东侧的一次挖掘中，发现了糖厂和相关建筑物的遗迹。文献证据证实，这座糖厂是在 17 世纪中叶左右重建的，并且至少活跃了一个世纪，到 1754 年就不再使用了。这次挖掘出土了大量用于提炼糖的陶瓷，但其中很少是本地制造的。一旦糖厂停止运作，陶瓷就在现场被丢弃并用于填充结构和建造新的表面。该组合包括以前未在糖精炼中编目的陶瓷形式。
