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.

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:

http://s263.photobucket.com/albums/ii152/pblink/

thanks advance

Hi Paul,

mmmmmmmmmmmm! nice (as they might say on the fast show!).

I agree that it seems more likely to be roof furniture.  Only bird figures in
ceramic that I know of are Saintonge bird whistles (see attached.  We do have
anthropomorphic roof finials from Perth and I have a memory of some zoomorphic
ones in the Gerald Dunning archive of such things.  Why not ask Barbara Hurman
she ought to know of any parallels?

On a different tack do you fancy refereeing a paper a paper by Ben Jervis on
Pottery and identity in Saxon Sussex for the next MC?  If not can you suggest
another candidate as referee?

regards

Derek

I've posted a drawing on the arch-pot website of a tripod vessel with
boss decoration which was excavated from Norwich Castle mound. It's
likely to be 11th-13th century in date.

The fabric is moderately sandy with occasional ferrous inclusions (not
unlike Grimston coarseware) and is brown with a dark grey core. The
most unusual thing about it is the method of constructing the tripod
feet, which are made of rings of clay similar to the short bowl
handles and spouts made in Thetford Ware. It may be a one-off from one
of the local industries, but if anyone has parallels from outside the
area I'd be very interested to hear from them.

Thanks very much,

Sue Anderson.

Alan,

It wasn't attached, it's on the arch-pot website here:

http://tech.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/arch-pot/photos

(folder far right)

but you will need to sign in to see it.

The bosses are raised, not applied, and the same colour as the rest of
the pot.

Apologies for cross-posting.

I'm currently working on a large assemblage of 5th - century Anglo-Saxon
pottery from the south midlands, and have come across what can only be an
attempt to make a mortarium by an Anglo-Saxon potter.   The fragment is a
shallow, hand-built bowl with squared chunks of rock pressed into the inner
surface at regular intervals. Will get a pic of it on photobucket or similar
later if there is interest.  It is reliably stratifed, and of 5th-century

Hi Sue
I can't see the original message in this thread so I have no idea what
the fabric is like but I'll say something anyway.

The top of the vessel looks like an Anglo-Saxon vessel, as found at
Broughton YORKS, Lackford SUFFOLK and Heworth YORKS. The bottom is
problematic, is there any possibility the base could be from another
vessel.

Thanks for that, no the bottom definitely belongs and the pot isn't
Early Saxon.

The 2009 Congress will be held at Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.

A call for papers and details of the programme, costs and accommodation
have now been posted on the Congress website:

www.twmuseums.org.uk/archaeology/conferencesandevents.html

If you have any queries, please use the contact details which appear on
the website.

Please note that there is an error on the website timetable: the date
for final payment of Congress fees should state 30 April 2009, not 2008.

I expect there will be several papers on aspects of Roman pottery.

Dear All,

This year's TAG conference is being hosted at the University of Southampton
between 15th-17th December 2008. Myself and Tehmina Goskar are organising a
session entitled "Putting Humpty Together Again: Overcoming the Fragmentation of
the Middle Ages" and are currently looking for papers. The session abstract
follows:

Putting Humpty Together Again: Overcoming the Fragmentation of the Middle Ages
fragmentation historical archaeology medieval
Tehmina Goskar (University of Southampton; tehm@...) and Ben Jervis
(University of Southampton; bpj106@...)

Medieval archaeology is one of the most vibrant fields of historical
archaeology. In previous years and decades there has been much debate over the
directions medieval archaeology should travel. This has generally centred around
questions of interdisciplinarity: understanding the archaeology in the contexts
of other disciplines such as history, anthropology and philosophy; or criticisms
of the lack of archaeological theory applied to the interpretation of
landscapes, sites and objects when compared with archaeologists engaged in
prehistory. However we have identified many other areas of ‘fragmentation’ which
archaeologists and those who use archaeological evidence have faced and
attempted to overcome. Some examples include:

• Transitions between periods, e.g. Saxon to Norman, early to high medieval,
late to post medieval
• Divisions between material specialists, e.g. ceramicists, numismatists, small
finds or metalwork specialists
• Geographic boundaries, e.g. studies according to modern regional and national
boundaries (Kent, Italy) or those according to contemporary boundaries (Wessex,
Normandy)
• Landscape and settlement vs. object-based archaeology
• Cultural focus vs. biological/environmental focus (including human and animal
remains)
• Life and death archaeology, e.g. finds and settlements relating to people’s
lifestyles and those found within funerary landscapes
• Relationships between urban and rural archaeology
• Theme-based divisions, e.g. social, economic, cultural, military
• Fragmentation between professions, e.g. academia, heritage (including
museums), commercial archaeology and conservation

This session seeks papers from those who want to, or have, overcome the kind of
fragmentation outlined above in their investigations and research. Have you
actively sought to apply theory to the way you view your period, sites and
materials in order to transcend the traditional boundaries of your field? Can
you demonstrate ways in which you have tried to challenge fragmentation
successfully? Or, if you have tried and it has failed, why? Is some
fragmentation necessary to retain specialisms and expertise or is it time to
challenge the basis of these divisions which operate within the boundaries of
outdated academic traditions?

If you are interested then please get in touch,

Many thanks,

Ben Jervis and Tehmina Goskar
University of Southampton

Posted on behalf of Duncan Brown, president of the Medieval Pottery research
Group:

We at the Medieval Pottery Research Group are saddened by the news of the
death last Friday of Sarah Jennings. Sarah was a significant member of the
Group, serving as Secretary in the early nineties and overseeing momentous
changes to our structure and focus. After working in Norwich, York and
London she became a research officer at English Heritage, where she
continued to work on the development of medieval pottery studies. That
included supporting various grant-aided projects, promoting our Occasional
Paper publication series and setting up training courses, a new round of
which started this year. Her death has come as a shock to all her friends
and colleagues, who are now wondering how we can ever fill the gap she has
left. Sarah was important to a great many people and will be much missed.

Duncan H. Brown
