Okay this doesn't make sense. How can one item be found at several sites?
Note: you can find items in one spot from various eras, especially if it is
a dump spot.

but were found in sites that yielded the range of c. 1500-60
flat knitted caps, so are probably earlier than the later 16th c.
Yes it does - Hilary's message said
"There are two extant sections of probably a child's excavated shirt
in the Museum of London, made of black/very dark blue fabric"
In other words, 2 pieces, so not one item at all, but pieces of one item.

What evidence is there that this garment is not a smock, which is an
outer garment worn over the shirt? What fiber is it made of? Wool?
Silk? Linen? I have many questions that I would like to see answered
before I would conclude that this is a shirt, i.e., worn next to the
skin with nothing else under it.
