In addition some clay pipes are listed as being found 'London Wall' but no date is given, they might be from this excavation [see 1884.101.61-64 on Pitt Rivers Museum's object database. There are also some small human remains (mostly teeth) possibly found in same excavations. There are also a larger number of artefacts noted as being from 'City of London excavations', these might be from London Wall 1866 excavations, or other 1866 sites or indeed material collected 1865 if the date is not confirmed by the documentation.
