Overall Analysis: 1/20/2004- Broken into (21) small and four large pieces.
Remarks: Neysi found artifact #VCM.58.208- stoneware jug located in Adolph Philipse's bedchamber broken on the floor today. I just went to look at the situation, and it appears that the wind blew so hard it pried loose one of the "staples" that hold the latch to the sash, resulting in the window opening and hitting the object. Neysi collected all the pieces of the object in a bag. Please call me for further information. (I have put in an emergency mrf to have this repaired and have checked all other windows to make sure that we won't have repeat of this disaster.) Thom Thacker, PM Site Director
