Medieval artefacts occur in both stratified and transposed contexts on the foreshore at Magor Pill, where silts infill a well-exposed tidal palaeochannel beside which stood the settlement and port of Abergwaitha The ceramics are various roof tiles, some from the Bristol area, and a wide range of pottery. Essentially for domestic use, and dating chiefly from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the pottery is dominated by 'local' Welsh products, especially Penhow and Glamorgan (Vale) Wares. As at many other medieval sites on the South Welsh littoral, strong links with the developing port of Bristol are evidenced by a significant proportion of wares from Bristol itself (eg Ham Green products) and from the hinterland to the east within the ambit of the Somerset Avon (eg Bath 'A' and Minety-type Wares). A little pottery from the London area and the continent reached Magor Pill, probably by way of Bristol. Some wares were brought down the Severn Estuary from the Gloucester area and from Malvern Chase upstream. Evidence of linefishing based on Magor Pill is recorded by a linesinker of lead, adding to the known use of fixed weirs and traps. There are likely to have been exports of other agricultural and also woodland products. Magor Pill is an archaeologically persistent site, at which it is possible with the help of earlier studies to compare and contrast patterns of connection and trade during Romano-British, medieval and early-modern times. Under the impact of advances in ship-building and navigation, the use of waterways was crucial tothe embedding of the site in an evolving web of links of an increasing complexity and geographical and economic scale. | ||||||||||||||||
