Not as wicked as the advert on page 4 - who knew that Lou Reed was interested in archaeology!

The pit in question is one of many found at the Prescot Street site - and was dug by our Gary who wrote about it here:
http://www.lparchaeology.com/prescot/jou...in-go-away - more of images of the horn core pits can be found on the website
http://www.lparchaeology.com/prescot. The use of horn core as a building material seems logically to be related to the amount of hornworking workshops in the Whitechapel area of East London in the 18th century, and were associated with small-scale craft use or used as cess pits.
