Abstract: |
Catalogue and discussion of five main groups (128 pots in all). As far as the grave evidence goes the bottles were imported almost exclusively to Kent, and other forms were imported to Kent and other parts of the country in the period mainly between AD 550 and 700. The bottles may have been for holy water or wine, and there are close relations with the Pas-de-Calais. Other forms come from more distant parts of NW Europe, by trade or personal import. Domestic and ritual pottery appear similar. Rouletting patterns and pottery constituents repay study. Manufacture on a slow wheel was reintroduced in Kent, E Anglia and elsewhere in early Saxon times, but the middle Saxon wheel-thrown series does not seem to owe much to the imported forms. |
