Abstract:
Introducing the symposium, Van Es explains that while decorated Anglo-Saxon wares ceased on the Continent after AD 450, in England they continued to flourish and diversify during 6th and 7th centuries. The papers here presented give significant examples of pottery from both sides of the North Sea. The wide-mouthed bowls from Den Burg, Texel (Holland) (pp 131-4) cannot be more precisely dated than 6th-8th centuries. Schmid (135-44, in German) discusses the implications of the close formal parallels between Mucking and Feddersen Wierde pottery of c 400. Jones (145-56, including contributions by Myres & Evison) describes the contents of House 26 at Mucking; the coarse pottery compares with Wijster Type IV Necked Bowls and represents a N European non-Romanised type with a long tradition. Myres deals with the decorated pottery of the earliest occupation at Mucking (late 4th-early 5th) and Evison with the metalwork, which includes a tubular belt-mount of Roman military type. Five of the AS inhumation graves at Great Chesterford, Essex are selected for description by Evison (157-73) because each contains a decorated pot and at least one Continental import. The dates run from early 5th to second half of 6th century; Myres contributes a discussion of the pottery. Two sealed groups of pagan Saxon pottery from West Stow, Suffolk are discussed by West (175-81); both are from domestic huts in which the occupation layer was distinguishable from later rubbish levels. One hut is of late 5th/early 6th century date, the other (containing work of the Lackford-Illington potter) is of second half of 6th century.
