Does anyone know of any vessels, imported or otherwise, of 11th/12th
century date which have tripod feet made of rings of clay similar to
Late Saxon spouts/handles on Thetford-type ware bowls? We have a tripod
jar from Norwich with small pinched bosses at the shoulder and a
slightly everted rim, and I'm just trying to locate parallels.

Thanks

Dear group

I just wondered if anyone knew of any 'witches bottles' (usually 17th
century Frechen stoneware containing ritual deposits such as bent pins,
human hair, or even urine) excavated from archaeological contexts in
this country?

Any information gratefully received!

Thanks Nigel

From Edwin Rose via Sarah Percival:

Sarah, we have 29 witch bottles on the HER (there may be some others wrongly
entered as "ritual artefact" alone)
But of these only one was found in an archaeological excavation context, the
others were all found by private individuals in their houses or by demolition
workers.
  The only example was found on the NAU excavation at Hardwick narrows, Kings
Lynn, site 15867, which is NAU report 574 of 2001 by D Adams. No doubt you can
provide him with a copy
   If he wishes information on the non-contextual ones, let me know

Nigel please reply direct to Sarah: sarah.percival@...

Hi Nigel

Loads have been found of course but not so many from proper archaeological digs.
Am bit busy at the moment to dig out all the  refs and am on hol next week - but
can think of 2 instances. One is in my Colchester report (CAR 7 publ. 2000)Fig.
168.2 is the base of a late 17th or 18thC English stoneware witch bottle from
Balkerne Lane, Colchester with a corroded bent pin and bent nails in the base.
context confused but on the site of a row of 18thC houses.

The other is a plain miniature Frechen witch bottle (complete)also with nails
and pins, from Northgate (or Sainsbury's) Car Park, Canterbury. Probably mid
17thC. On site of post-med buildings demolished 1980s and excavated 1994. Bottle
assumed to have originally been under floor or hearth but again context wasn't
very informative as it was only an evaluation. Photo and description of latter
published in: Cotter, J.P 1996  'Witch bottle? What pub? A note on two unusual
stoneware pots from Northgate',  Canterbury's Archaeology 1994-95, 19, 67-8.(the
photo has no figure no.). People in the Weald of Kent are constantly finding
these things up their chimneys! Can't remember the exact ref but it's an
Archaeologia Cantiana c1996 or 97? article by P Winzar about witch bottles found
up chimeys in recent years in village of Charing near Ashford, some photos
included. Think the ref is im Med Ceramics biblio for that year - I remember
sending it.

Hope this is of some use. Best wishes

John

Hello John

This is fab, I have a student looking into the ones found in London, and
it does seem as though most of them are found 'privately' etc.

And enjoy your holiday

Dear group,

I'm just starting out in the arena of pottery recording and am trying to  get
to grips with identifying inclusions. My mentor remembers there  was a guide
produced in the 1970s entitled 'Guide to some  common inclusions found in
pottery', or similar, but I have had no luck  tracking it down. Does anyone know
this publication, or can recommend any  guidance on how to identify common
pottery inclusions? I'd be grateful for any  help!

Many thanks,
Jenny

I don't know about pottery outside of Egypt specifically, where there
is a lot of discussion of this.  But have you looked in the
bibliography of Patricia Rice's pottery book?

You are probably referring to the guide which was included in 'Pottery and
Early Commerce' edited by David Peacock (1977).  I presume that this is long out
of print but you may be able to track down a second hand copy.  A better bet is
probably the following:

Prehistoric Ceramics Research group  1992  The study of later prehistoric
pottery: Guidelines for analysis and publication  Occasional paper No. 2

     I think that this was re-issued in 1997 with some updated sections and
bibliography.  You should be able to find out about its availability via the
PCRG website:
http://www.pcrg.org.uk/

     Similar standards documents have been issued by some of the other ceramic
study groups and all of these are worth looking at.  Relevant websites are:

The Study Group for Roman Pottery

http://www.sgrp.org
The Medieval Pottery Research Group

http://www.medievalpottery.org.uk

The Ceramic Petrology Group
http://www.ceramicpetrology.uklinux.net
Later Prehistoric Pottery Gazetteer

Dear Jenny,

The paper you are after was published by David Peacock in Pottery and
Early Commerce (Academic Press, 1977). Where on earth you could get a
copy now I don't know - ebay?.

Dear all,

Very many thanks for your replies- I've tracked down a copy of Peacock's book at
my local University library.

Best wishes,
Jenny


[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Jolly good - but I would also look at the various standards documents - in
the absence of an effective professional regulatory body, they are the best we
have as guidelines for the structure and content of reports and have also
benefited from developments since the late 70s.

I agree with Chris and would also recommend that you look at Pottery in
Archaeology by Clive Orton, Paul Tyers and Alan Vince (Cambridge University
Press 1993) which deals with inclusions (and so much more!).

Hi

I have just joined the group. I am one of a group of potters who make
replica Tudor period pottery and kilns and try to recreate the
techniques involved in making period pottery. We throw and fire
regularly at Kentwell and Grayhill (UK) where we demonstrate the
techniques to school children. Some of the group make pieces for
museums that visitors can handle. All this involves a lot of research
as well!
Looking forward to hearing more.

Annette

Dear Annette

Have you heard of  the Medieval Pottery Research Group? Have a look at our
website.   http://www.medievalpottery.org.uk/
<http://www.medievalpottery.org.uk/  >
We are group of people who are interested in medieval and post-medieval pottery
and include potters such as yourself, archaeologists, museum curators, students
etc

Best wishes

Yes I have.

Joined the group but didn't receive anything passed the first package
containing a issue of the journal with very interesting articles. I
have since obtained any articles that I am interested in from my
library. That was a couple of years ago now. Since I received so
little I am afraid I didn't rejoin sorry to say.

Annette

Hello everyone,

I'm compiling a bibliography of studies that used INAA or NAA to
characterize historic, colonial, or post-medieval ceramics, made
between about 1500-1900.  I've attached below the list I've generated
from the past few days of research and I'd appreciate any other
suggestions or leads.  Please note that I've not yet included any
studies of North American or Caribbean colonoware, nor domestic North
American wares generally.  I've simply not included those yet.  If
anyone out there can think of other studies, please drop me an email
with a name or reference.

Thanks! I'll post a follow up message after a few days that includes
the compiled responses.

Cheers,
Tim

Dear Annette

So sorry to hear you weren't satisfied with what you received. The main product
of the group is the journal and the newsletters but also the reduced fee for the
annual conference and the regional group meetings both of which include lots of
time to look at otherwise inaccessible collections of ceramics. Other services
which are available to everyone for free (as they are on our web site) include
an online bibliography which is a valuable research resource for anyone
interested in pottery studies.

Best wishes
Victoria

I see it has improved since I joined. There was no web site then and
I didn't get to hear about regional meetings or conferences.
Need to reconsider rejoining I think.
Many thanks for the information.

Just thought the list may be interested to know about a workshop:

Tudor Period Pottery Kiln Building Workshop

19th and 20th May

Grayhill Living History Site near Chepstow, South Wales, Uk
http://www.grayhill.org/index1.html

A hands on workshop building a wood fired pottery kiln of the style
used by Tudor potters.

Camping is available on site or a B+B list can be provided on
request. We ask that you bring a packed lunch for each day.

Cost: £50 including all materials and construction notes.

We hope to run a second workshop later on in the year to fire the
kiln. Pieces to be fired will be most welcome subject to them fitting
into the kiln.

Please contact Antony Witton anwitton@... (01727 861274) to
book a place or for further details.

Please excuse the cross-postings.
The submission deadline is rapidly approaching.  Please forward to
interested parties.
Please contact Timothy Scarlett as soon as possible with interest:

Title:
Archaeological Science and Historic-era Ceramics: A Conversation
about Current Understanding and Emergent Perspectives

Proposal for an "electronic symposium" at the 2008 Annual Meeting of
the Society for Historical Archaeology, Albuquerque, NM (January).
(papers or supplementary material will be posted on the SHA website
ahead of the meeting.  The session will include more discussion.

Abstract:
In the past 15 years, historical archaeologists have collaborated in
an unprecedented effort to bring the materials scientist's
perspective into discussions of ceramic artifacts.  Collaboration has
brought well-established, "tried-and-true" tools to help expand our
understanding of ceramics in the rise of the modern world.  The
annual meeting provides an opportunity to overview the results of
individual and collaborative research programs, reflecting upon
progress in what we have learned.  What have the material sciences
contributed to our understanding of ceramic and pottery traditions in
different places?  How have the archaeometric efforts related to
larger trends in ceramic analyses?  What have been our successes?
Where are our shortcomings?  What do these trajectories indicate
regarding our future challenges?

Hi, I've just posted some photos of an unidentified object and an
oddly-shaped dish from post-medieval contexts in Norwich:

http://tech.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/arch-pot/photos/browse/5f26?c=

(Apologies for cross-posting with ACBMG members.)

The unidentified object is in red earthenware with a green glaze and
is incomplete, but appears to have some kind of lattice openwork
forming at least one side. The rear and sides have traces of lime
mortar. I wondered if it might be a crude form of cylinder stove tile,
but it could also be an unidentified pottery vessel form. The unusual
dish seems to be a Border Ware product but I can't find a parallel for
the shape.

Any thoughts gratefully received.

Thanks very much,

Sue Anderson.

Good evening Sue,
The green glazed tiles seem to me as if the are parts from an oven.
Could you send me fotos to view them from all sides?
Greetings from Berlin
Ulrich Windisch

Thanks Ulrich. Unfortunately the material is now packed up ready to go
back to Norwich so I can't take any more photos (I don't have my camera
here anyway). There is only one object, and the photos cover all but one
view I think.

apologies for cross-posting.

I have just come across a 13th/14th century modelled pottery bird, probably
Grimston ware, from Norwich.  No other pottery was present in the context in
which it was found.  I've never come across anything like this from an
English medieval site, so would be grateful if anyone knows of any parallels
or even what it was actually used for.  my best guess is roof furniture
(looks like a pigeon to me!), although it would work as a lamp - no obvious
burn marks or sooting however. All sensible suggestions welcomed.

I've posted 4 pictures of it on photobucket at:
