Due to the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the deposit of this dataset in the aftermath of Alan's death, we have been unable to identify properly many of images that Alan had created, especially those included as part of his project based archives. We have nonetheless included the images in the archive in the hope that other members of the pottery specialist community will be able to help identify them and enhance the resource's reuse value. If you can provide captions for any of the images you see within these archive pages, just a short sentence describing what they portray, please email pottery@archaeologydataservice.ac.uk with the image code and the caption. Thank you.

Thin Section database
Ceramic thin-sections have been extensively used in archaeology to study the source of, and manufacturing methods used in the production of pottery, building materials, and other ceramic artefacts. In the absence of a central register, it has proved difficult to access information about thin-section work carried out, unless it had already been published. The City of Lincoln Archaeology Unit was therefore commissioned by EH to undertake a survey of ceramic thin-section collections in the UK. The principal objectives of the survey were to establish where collections existed, whether public access was allowed, and what they contained, and then to create a database of thin-sections from existing catalogues and publications. The survey and database are now complete. Forty-eight bodies were found to hold ceramic thin-sections, all of which included material from sites in the UK. These collections contain over 20,000 samples ranging in date from the Neolithic to the post-medieval periods and information about these samples can be retrieved from the database.
