(based on an average sherd weight of 17.06 g). 14,516 sherds came from NH and 6,706 from CC. All of this material was briefly examined, spot-dated and recorded to assessment level. A sampling strategy of the most secure deposits was implicated (see methodology below) and this resulted in a detailed catalogue of 14,766 sherds weighing 251.891 kg with a total EVEs of 158.98. It is this detailed catalogue, or sample, which forms the statistical basis of this pottery report (an extra 26 sherds from the broadly phased Phase 4 on NH have usually been dropped from discussion and phase-related tables but are occasionally shown in fabric-related tables). An additional 138 sherds from ‘non-sampled’ or unphased contexts on the site were also catalogued in detail because of their intrinsic interest, usually because they had been selected for illustration or included rare fabrics not represented in the main sampled database. The data from these however were not used in any statistical calculations but are occasionally mentioned in the text. Of the detailed catalogue total of 14,766 sherds, 10,766 came from the larger NH site and 4,000 from the CC site. The average sherd weight is 17.06 g. On NH however it is 16.34 g. and on CC it is 19 g. The difference is almost certainly explained by the preponderance of pits on CC, which tend to produce larger better- preserved sherds, whereas NH comprises both pits and a much higher survival of horizontal stratigraphy (layers) which tends to produced smaller sherds. Pottery of the 9th to 14th centuries, and particularly the 9th to 12th centuries, dominates the excavated assemblage. A single sherd of early-mid Saxon organic- tempered pottery hints at earlier though superficial post-Roman activity in the area but it is unlikely, on the basis of pottery types present that significant occupation of the site commenced much before c 850. The marked tail-off of pottery during the later 13th and 14th centuries is almost certainly due to the conversion of most of the site to gardens, certainly by the 15th century, and its survival in this state almost untouched until the 19th and 20th centuries. Post-medieval pottery (16th-20th century), for example, comprises only a tiny fraction of the assemblage recovered from NH (along with only 12 pieces of clay tobacco pipe) and this must reflect a dearth of later activity. The adjacent CC site presents a similar picture apart from a small early 19th- 4 Excavations in Winchester 2002-07 Medieval pottery century pottery group sealed by the building of the new library in the 1830s. Details of the small post-medieval pottery collection remain in archive and are not treated in any significant way in this report. Although figures for quantification in this report relate only to post-Roman pottery the site also produced significant quantities of Roman pottery, much of it residual in post-Roman contexts. On NH Roman residuality stands at 30% (sherds) of the total excavated ceramic assemblage from post-Roman contexts, while on CC it stands at 25%. Again it is probably the higher survival of layers on NH which explains the higher proportion of residual Roman sherds. In Saxon-Norman contexts (9th-12th century) Roman residuality stands at 32% on NH and 27% on CC and in medieval contexts (13th-15th century) stands at 22% on both sites. Because of the longevity or continued production of the main late Saxon wares into the early medieval period (11th-12th or even early 13th century) and their typological conservatism it is not possible to calculate the degree of late Saxon pottery residual in early medieval contexts (Phase 5 - c 1050-1225) although this figure could be fairly high in some cases (eg. occupation layers) but perhaps negligible in others (eg short- lived pits with contemporary fills). However, by Phase 6 ( c - 1225-1550), when the late Saxon and Saxon-Norman wares had definitely ceased production these types still comprised two-thirds, or 68%, of all post-Roman pottery sherds in Phase 6 contexts (Phase total 2,371 sherds), meaning that only one third (32%) of all post-Roman pottery from these contexts was actually contemporary, and if Roman residual pottery is taken into account this figure is even lower. By Phase 6, however, human occupation, and presumably pottery disposal, on the site was significantly reduced and this factor must surely contribute to the exaggerated figures for pottery residuality during this phase. In complex urban excavations such as this, and where the main pottery types are not closely datable, residuality levels, though not always easy to establish, must be a factor taken into consideration as they will always blur to some degree our picture of what is contemporary and what is not.

  • Surrey-Hampshire Border Ware Ceramics in Seventeenth-Century
    SURREY-HAMPSHIRE BORDER WARE CERAMICS IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLISH NORTH AMERICA by © Catherine Margaret Hawkins A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Archaeology Memorial University of Newfoundland April 2016 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Surrey-Hampshire Border ware ceramics were among of the most popular and widely used ceramics in southern England. This ceramic, produced along the Surrey-Hampshire border, was also shipped to English colonies in North America throughout the seventeenth century. This thesis will explore the types of vessels uncovered on archaeological sites in Newfoundland, New England and the Chesapeake, and examine the similarities and differences in the forms available to various colonists during this time period. By comparing the collections of Border ware found at various sites it is possible to not only determine what vessel forms are present in Northeastern English North America, but to determine the similarities and differences in vessels based on temporal, geographic, social or economic factors. A comparative study of Border ware also provides information on the socio- economic status of the colonists and on trading networks between England and North America during the seventeenth century. i Acknowledgements Grateful thanks are due first and foremost to my supervisor, Dr. Barry Gaulton, for everything he has done for me over the years. My interest in historical archaeology originated through working with Barry and Dr. Jim Tuck at Ferryland several years ago and I cannot thank him enough for his continued support, enthusiasm, advice and encouragement throughout the course of this research project.

  • Bartlemas BC11 Pot Rep Final.Pdf
    (30 May - 6 June 2013) East Oxford Archaeology Project Bartlemas Chapel Excavations (BC11) Medieval and post-medieval pottery report John Cotter Introduction A total of 1711 sherds of pottery weighing 8.672kg was recovered. These totals include 22 sherds of residual Roman pottery which comprise 1.3% of the entire assemblage (by sherd count). The post-Roman (medieval and post-medieval) pottery comprises 1689 sherds weighing 8.584g. Excluding the small Roman element, medieval pottery (up to c 1480) comprises a little over one quarter (26.4% ) of the assemblage by sherd count (or 28.5% by weight), and post-medieval pottery comprises nearly three-quarters (73.6%) of the of the assemblage (or 71.5% by weight). The pottery came from a total of 81 contexts - mostly layers, spreads and a few pits, graves and posthole fills. Many of these also produced pieces of clay tobacco pipe (c 1600-1900) and miscellaneous scraps of medieval and post-medieval roof tile, floor tile and ‘Victorian’ drainpipe. The general condition of the entire pottery assemblage - it must be said - is very poor. The average sherd weight (including Roman) is only 5.1g which is remarkably low for an assemblage of this size and date-range (c 15-20g. would be normal in a stratified assemblage). Of the 1689 post-Roman sherds the medieval element has an average sherd weight of 5.5g and the post-medieval element just 4.9g. The latter figure is especially surprising as post-medieval wares (to c 1900+) are generally more robust and usually survive better than more fragile medieval vessel forms.

Hard fabric with plentiful quartz sand mixed in with the clay. Manufactured at a wide range of generally unknown sites all over eastern England. Mostly cooking pots, but bowls and occasionally jugs also known. HED: Hedingham Ware: Late 12th – 14th century. Fine orange/red glazed pottery, made at Sible Hedingham in Essex. The surfaces of the sherds have a sparkly appearance due to there being large quantities of mica, a glassy mineral, in the clay. Pots usually glazed jugs. LMT: Late Medieval Ware: Hard, reddish-orange pottery with lots of sand mixed in with the clay. Made from about 1400 – 1550 in lots of different places in East Anglia. Used for everyday pottery such as jugs and large bowls, and also large pots (‘cisterns’) for brewing beer. RAER: Raeren Stoneware, 1480 – 1550. Hard, grey German stoneware with a brown iron ‘wash’ beneath the glaze on the outer surface. GRE: Glazed Red Earthenwares: Fine sandy earthenware, usually with a brown or green glaze, usually on the inner surface. Made at numerous locations all over England. Occurs in a range of practical shapes for use in the households of the time, such as large mixing bowls, cauldrons and frying pans. It was first made around the middle of the 16th century, and in some places continued in use until the 19th century. FREC: Frechen Stoneware, 1550-1750. Hard, grey German stoneware with a speckled brown and grey salt glaze.

These reports use the Museum of London codes for ceramics and building materials. Complete lists of these codes, their expansions and date ranges are available at www.mola.org.uk/resource-library. THE ROMAN POTTERY James Gerrard and Malcolm Lyne The excavations produced a small assemblage of Romano-British pottery (106 sherds, 1829g), which included a number of complete or partially intact vessels from graves. The bulk comprises small abraded sherds, and its presence is probably the result of activities such as field marling. The discussion is primarily concerned with the grave goods and other vessels associated with funerary ritual. There were 11 complete or nearly complete vessels from graves and other features (listed below). Virtually all of these can be dated to within the period c.AD 100/150–250.

    An Analysis of Post-Medieval Ceramics from the Pendle Hill Witches Archaeological Excavation by Madeleine Elaine Connolly A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Arts in Anthropology (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2019 Commencement June 2019 1 2 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Madeleine Elaine Connolly for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Arts in Anthropology ​ presented on May 29, 2019. Title: An Analysis of Post-Medieval Ceramics from the Pendle Hill ​ Witches Archaeological Excavation. ​ Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Leah Minc This analysis seeks to (1) establish a typology of the post-medieval ceramics from the Malkin Tower site, (2) determine vessel forms and extrapolate site function, and (3) establish a tentative chronology for the site. Over four hundred post-medieval ceramic artifacts from the Malkin Tower site were analysed via descriptive and paste analysis, thin section analysis, and a comparative literature review. A typology of the post-medieval wares was created based on the results of the analyses and parallels found in the literature. Vessel forms were identified wherever possible. The primary forms present in this assemblage are storage jars, milk-pans, cups, mugs, and bowls and shallow dishes. Most of the identified wares were in production from the mid-to-late 17th century through the 19th century. Key Words: ceramics, post-medieval, petrography, witch trials, Lancashire

  • DAACS Cataloging Manual: Ceramics
    DAACS Cataloging Manual: Ceramics OCTOBER 2018 DAACS Cataloging Manuals document how artifacts, contexts, features, objects and images are cataloged into the DAACS database. They provide information not only about artifact identification but also about how each database field is used and how data should be entered into that field. The DAACS database was developed by Jillian Galle and Fraser Neiman, in collaboration with members of the DAACS Steering Committee . Jillian Galle and DAACS Staff, Leslie Cooper, Lynsey Bates, Lindsay Bloch, Elizabeth Bollwerk, Jesse Sawyer, and Beatrix Arendt, led the development of cataloging protocols. In addition to DAACS staff and steering committee members, Monticello current and former Archaeology Department staff, Fraser Neiman, Jennifer Aultman, Sara Bon-Harper, Derek Wheeler, Donald Gaylord, Karen Smith, and Nick Bon-Harper also contributed to the development of cataloging protocols. Jennifer Aultman and Kate Grillo produced the initial versions of these DAACS manuals in 2003. They have been substantially revised by Cooper, Galle, and Bloch in the intervening years.
