Abstract:
When pottery vessels are fired they acquire a magnetisation that is uniformly parallel with the ambient field in which they cool. If the vessels are subsequently broken each sherd retains its original magnetisation which can be used either to supplement jigsaw fitting, particularly if several hundred sherds are available from the same vessel, or to evaluate the shape of the original vessel when only a few, non-adjacent sherds are available.
