Abstract:
Reports on the excavations of a single kiln at Ellingham; three kilns at Postwick; and three kilns at a multi-period site at Two Mile Bottom. Includes summaries in French and German. Part 1: Excavations at Dairy Farm, Ellingham, 1996 (Site 11843) (1--27) describes the site of a kiln containing many mortarium fragments in both its structure and its fills.

indicates that the materials used were probably of local origin, in particular from the Norwich Crag deposits

site revealing a few pits and ditches, probably Bronze Age, and three pottery kilns dating from the second century AD. Pottery included grey wares and oxidized wares, the latter fabric having been used for the production of specialist wares. Some large pits nearby and a series of ditches may have been contemporaneous and linked to the kilns

report of a multi-period site ranging from the later Mesolithic (discoveries from which are described in Oxbow Monograph 102/Lithic Studies Soc Occ Pap 6, Stone Age archaeology, essays in honour of John Wymer, ed N Ashton, 1998) to the Early Saxon period. Romano-British features include at least three pottery kilns as well as pits and post-holes. `Wasters' of painted white wares were found in one kiln; these were dated to the late-third and early-fourth century AD, and were not previously known to have been made in Norfolk. Numerous Early Saxon features included a series of pits and a possible sunken-featured building. Remains of this date had not previously been found in the vicinity of the site. The presence of late Roman and Early Saxon material together in some features indicates a possible continuity of occupation
