We found many brown and green glazed stoneware containers that would
have held preserved foods brought from China, such as pickles, ginger,
bean curd, oil, rice wine, and soy sauce.

many pieces of Chinese bowls, cups, and spoons, and food remains
such as pork bones. This tells us that eating in 
traditional
Chinese ways was very important to the laundry workers.
