Abstract:		 Until the beginning of the 1980s only two pottery kilns were known from the Middle Ages in the Danish area. Both kilns were found on Zealand at the localities of Farum Lillevang and Faurholm. Not until 1983 did new finds appear. In the course of several months three new pottery kilns were found with accompanying discarded and misfired pottery. The first of these kilns was found on the western edge of the village of Hellum in eastern Himmerland. Only a few months later the remains of another kiln appeared at the village of Kragelund about twenty kilometers north of Silkeborg, and almost at the same time more pottery and kilns came to light near the village of Barmer in Himmerland. The three new kilns were not only widely different in construction but also different from those already known. This gave rise to the establishment of a research and publishing project that included an analysis of the kilns as well as the preserved pottery, the realization of a series of experimental archaeological experiments, and the collection of comparative archaeological material and selected parallel ethnological and ethnographic material.
