Alternatively, it may reflect a different practice common among sailors, where a bottle filled with urine was buried at their home as a superstitious measure to ensure a safe return from their voyages.

This could be researched further.

There maybe records of the owners and/or tenets of the house where the bottle was found including the professions of those people.

After being further conserved by Yeates, the artifact will be on display at the University of Lincoln’s Conservation of Cultural Heritage final-year degree show in June 2025, before being returned to its owner (still filled with its historical pee).

Yeates maybe able to make an educated guess as to the identity of man who filled the bottle. There may even be photo of the man out there.
