Abstract: |
A large project involving the thin sectioning of some 186 sherds of Ipswich ware from a variety of sites was undertaken as part of a wide-ranging programme of petrological and chemical analysis done in a number of stages. The final petrological report suggests that there are two main fabric groups (accounting for 163 sherds) which were almost certainly made in Ipswich itself. A sandy fabric containing fairly well-sorted quartz grains and a "pimply" fabric where large quartz grains protrude through the surfaces of the vessel. Both fabrics can be recognised in the hand-specimen. The remaining sherds appear as "outliers" to the main groupings, although there is at present no reason to suspect that they may not also have been made at Ipswich. |
