Dear Lisa,
there is also allspice from a late 18th century latrine at Greifswald, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, eastern Germany.

> I am pretty sure I've got some allspice in the flot from the primary fill
> of a 19th cesspit from Payne's wharf (Greenwich/Deptford London). You'll
> have to trust my provisional identification for now as I don't have
> facilities to take photographs through my microscope yet. I've compared
> them with my modern reference allspice and they look the same.
>
> I'm writing the assessment and wanted to ask if any of you had found this
> spice in samples from this area of London.
>
> Allspice isn't on the ABCD list and I've found a paper describing some
> Polish finds in which it refers to some English finds of allspice but
> doesn't give any further details.
>
> If any of you know of any finds, in London or elsewhere, do let me know.
> I'll note them for whoever does the analysis.
>
> Best Wishes,
