| Abstract: |
Using Thorpe Thewles material, sixteen sherds representing a cross-section of early ceramic types were subjected to 150 cycles of freeze and thaw. A few stood the process fairly well, but even some of the Roman wares suffered badly; clearly only some types of pottery will survive to be picked up in fieldwalking. |
