Hi, Could anyone can help me with a pottery ID please? I found a rather battered sherd when blundering off track in remote woodland in the Breckland area of...
Yes, Samian. Can't find any myself - lots of Roman but the area I'm in is very low status! Lucky you. Sue. [Non-text portions of this message have been...

Clive Your samian rim looks like it may come from a Dr form 37 (decorated bowl Late 1st to mid 3rd ) or Dr 38 (flanged bowl mid-late 2nd to mid 3rd) - all ...
Does anyone know whether Huntcliffe wares can be oxidised on the surface? I have a rough, very hard red/orange rim with grey core that is just stuffed with...

Cathy, Thanks for your reply, I'll pop back to the wood and see if I can find any more shards (unlikely - unless my helpful mole has been active again...). It...
Huntcliff (no e) ware is reduced, but it can be misfired or burnt. Does it really have mineral calcite in it and no shell? It should not be very sandy, but...
I have spent the weekend re-evaluating the confusing issue of the Dalesware I have. The problem arose when all my shelly ware was collectively identified as ...
Clive I've just added two links to the Arch-Pot Bookmarks: The SGRP (Roman Pottery Study Group) and Paul Tyers' POTSHERD sites - lots to click on and both in ...
Can any one help? I'm looking for an article in Antiquaries Journal 31, 1951, 154-164, entitled 'Dalesware'. Where might I find this or do you have a copy...
