Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A petrological study of the rock inclusions present in EIA Glastonbury ware suggests that the raw materials for pottery making were not usually obtained on or near the find-sites, but from specific localities throughout SW England. Since each of the petrological groups (at least six) has its own range of typological traits there is reason to believe that the completed pots, rather than the materials, were transported, suggesting the activity of specialist potters working from production centres. The relevance of the new evidence to the origin of the decorative styles and the cultural interpretation of the pottery is briefly discussed. For instance, although there is a strong Armorican element in Group 1 pottery, this need not be due to actual folk movement. Future effort should be directed to establishing the typological sequence and relative dating of the different groups (see also 70/642). Au(amp) | ||||
