Medieval Ceramics Volume 15: Journal of the Medieval Pottery Research Group

This paper reviews the different approaches to pottery studies in the Netherlands and Flanders since 1975. Some of the publications resulting from this work are listed in a ‘Select Bibliography3, each with an individual number by means of which it is referred to in the text. These publications are discussed under a number of thematic headings which cover chronology, trade, production, technology, the potters, the consumers and the uses to which pottery was put.

The article discusses the manufacturing techniques, dating and function of three small jugs with unusual tubular ‘spouts’ in the form of a whistle, which were found during the excavation of a kiln at Stanion, Northamptonshire. When filled with water and blown into through the whistle the vessels produce a warbling sound; they are thought to have been used for attracting birds, and to date to the 15th century.

This paper examines the evidence for the use and probable re-introduction of pottery in the southern Welsh borderland following the Norman conquest, based on discoveries in Monnow Street, Monmouth and material from previous excavations in the area. Burgages in Monnow Street contain a remarkably well-preserved series of medieval house floors dating from shortly after the Conquest, which have provided a ‘key’ to the pottery sequences in the town, especially for the period c.AD 1100 to 1400. A summary of regional assemblages containing D2 Cotswold ware is also presented.
