Abstract:
During excavations in the village of Michelmersh, a late Saxon clamp kiln was discovered, with a number of jars in situ from its final firing. Archaeomagnetic dating shows that this took place in the late-tenth or early-eleventh century. A small number of contemporary features indicate relatively non-intensive activity. The kiln products, after new chemical analysis and a review of the previously excavated `Four Seasons' kiln material, suggest that `Michelmersh ware' should be reconsidered as a ceramic tradition with a lifespan of two or even three hundred years. Village based production is indicated with a distribution area centred around Winchester and extending at least into Wiltshire. Reasons behind the development of high quality wheel-thrown wares in standardised forms and sizes are briefly considered. Separately authored contributions include
