Abstract:		 Petrological analysis of thin sections of Western Third B ("duck"-stamped) and Western Second B (linear-tooled) wares suggests that both were the products of specialist potters based in the Malvern district. Cutting across the conventional W3B-W2B groups were three types of ware having different tempering materials - igneous and metamorphic rocks and minerals, limestone and sandstone respectively. Virtually all these are obtainable in the Malvern Hills, which lie centrally in the main distribution area, and typological and distributional support for the grouping suggests that three main potting concerns were active. Since the region was previously virtually aceramic, distribution may well have been on a commercial rather than cultural basis. The hillforts which yield the pottery are very different architecturally, and even where a change from stamped to predominantly linear-tooled wares coincides with major structural changes in a fort (eg Bredon, Croft Ambrey), the reasons could be other than cultural. Further work depends on the publication of several major excavations (see also 69/488).
