Chapter 6: Towards a type series of medieval pottery in Surrey
PHIL JONES
The publication in this volume of excavated material from several towns in west and central Surrey provides the opportunity for a more general appraisal of medieval pottery in the county to be put forward. The author has been progressing towards a provisional type series of fabrics and wares for several years, largely based upon collections excavated by the Surrey County Archaeological Unit, although much else has been seen from other sites in the county. While pottery from Staines, Chertsey, Reigate, Guildford, Godalming, Dorking and Farnham was being studied, the results of work on the London Thames waterfront became known and were soon followed by a series of papers that describe a dated type series of medieval pottery from the capital (Pearce et al 1982; Pearce et al 1985; Pearce & Vince 1988; Jenner & Vince 1983; Vince & Jenner 1991). Until those were published it would have been premature to develop a county typology, but a provisional attempt has been made in this comparative study of medieval pottery from the towns of west and central Surrey.
