Description: | Twenty five sherds of early Anglo-Saxon pottery, including 22 body sherds and 1 base (now in 3 sherds). Sherds include fine-medium sandy pottery, granite-tempered, coarse quartz tempered, grog-tempered and shell-tempered. Some sherds have corrugation and incised chevron decoration, these are dated to the late 5th century by Myers and also at Mucking. The globular vessels represented are more common in the 6th century. The variety of fabrics and the number of vessels present is more typical of a settlement assemblage than a funerary group, all dating between the late 5th and 6th centuries. For more details see Suffolk SMR report by S. Anderson. These early Anglo-Saxon pottery sherds were discovered in the same area as several early Anglo-Saxon long brooches and other artefacts many of which were burnt suggesting that they were originally deposited in early Anglo-Saxon cremation cemetery. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 450
