Description: | Two rim sherds of iron-rich sandy pottery dating to between the 11th and 14th centuries. The larger rim sherd has evidence of slight decoration with mild flaring coming out from the rim to probably form a handle for the vessel. The second sherd also has a well-defined rim. Both sherds have a dark orange/brown body with a dark grey/ black fill. There are sparse small inclusions in the fill. This type of pottery has been found throughout Staffordshire (particularly Stafford) from this period. However, no kilns producing this ware have yet been found in the area. This style of pottery has been found as part of earthenware jars, jugs, bowls, dishes, dripping pans, pipkins and curfews (fire covers). | 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: | 1000
