Abstract
Ceramic salt-making debris from Droitwich
John Sawle
5 - 12
Reports 1000kg of briquetage, all of one type of vessel, presumably moulds for drying salt crystals and for long distance transport.
Methods of kiln reconstruction
David P Dawson
Ollie Kent
13 - 17
Firing characteristics of wood-fired updraught kilns, and their relationships to design details of firebox and ware-chamber.
Attempts at making faience beads using wood-fired kilns
W J Wright
18 - 20
Laboratory and field trials of several recipes; further work should test the 'indirect oven'.
Diatom analysis of pottery and clays from North Northumberland a contribution to source-tracing
Alex M Gibson
21 - 24
The old pot-boiler
Ann Woods
25 - 40
Flint pebbles, heated and dropped into cooking vessel, usually rendered food dangerous through fine debris. Direct heating of cooking pot over fire proved satisfactory, with no thermal shock. The term 'heating stone' is thus preferable to 'pot-boiler'.
The absorption of foodstuffs by ceramics
Jeremy M O Oetgen
41 - 56
Experiments on Roman-type pottery were designed to see whether surfaces needed sealing. Test slabs of clay treated with various foods did take up such substances, but not to an adverse degree, and surfaces were readily cleaned with a damp cloth. Transfer of flavours was probably avoided by keeping pots for one kind of food.
Some aspects of pottery production and use in the north-eastern Iron Age
H P Swain
David Heslop
65 - 74
A clay-curing pit was found at Thorpe Thewles, and a form vs function study was begun. Firing experiments (in bonfire) were made, and various features confirmed that domestic production had taken place on site.
Pottery-making and open firing at Piddington Romano-British villa, August 1983
Diana E Friendship-Taylor
75 - 81
Identification of organic residues in ceramics
John G Evans
82 - 85
Improved techniques of study; burial conditions need recording, but decomposition is not a serious drawback. Some recent examples are cited, eg fish-processing in Isles of Scilly, and Runnymede's fish products, beeswax, and salted meat.
