Abstract: |
A small group of Anglo-Saxon sherds from the 1976--80 excavations were thin sectioned. This produced six fabric groups: (1) sandstone, (2)organic, (3)quartz/flint, (4) igneous, (5) ironstone and (6) ?grog. With the exception of group (4), all of the pottery may possibly have been made from a range of clays found in the local Pleistocene Beds. The igneous inclusions found in group (4) were of a granite or grano-diorite nature. Igneous erratics in the local boulder clays might account for the latter, or alternatively a source in the Charnwood forest area to the north-west of Leicester is a possibility. Au |
