We’ve found lots of evidence of drinking and smoking in Dunfermline’s old graveyard in the past: old clay tobacco pipe fragments and bits of beer bottle for example. Today I came across this, deliberately thrown over the fence into the excavation area onto a table gravestone. It’s wonderful to see such evidence of continuity of use across the centuries.
