Today we are highlighting the addition of a new and exciting journal to the ADS library – Medieval Ceramics: Journal of the Medieval Ceramics Research Group!
The Medieval Pottery Research Group was founded in 1975 to bring together those with an interest in the pottery vessels that were made, traded, and used in Europe between the end of the Roman period and the 16th century. Since its foundation the remit of the group has expanded to include pottery dating to the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries from both sides of the Atlantic and beyond, as well as post-Roman ceramic building materials. The group has a diverse membership, including professional and non-professional archaeologists engaged in the study of ceramics and those with a general interest in ceramics.
This annual journal provides articles on new discoveries, interesting ceramic types and reviews of books and conferences. This library collection contains 41 volumes stretching from 1977 to 2020, all of which are available as open access articles that are free to download and read. Many of the earlier volumes of this journal are now out of print and are now available either from the ADS library or the Medieval Pottery Research Group website.
