Overview

An essential survey for all interested in the pottery of the London area, this study charts the development, peak and decline of two ceramic traditions: the shelly wares of c 1140–1220, mainly city-based but reaching Scotland and across the North Sea to Norway, and the greywares of c 1170–1350, widely used in the city and even more so in its hinterland. In addition to fabric analyses, form typologies, a gazetteer of find spots and scientific data, the study includes a summary of greyware production centres, and considers function, use, marketing of medieval pottery and the chronology of selected consumer sites in London and its region.

Reviews

The immediate relevance of this impressive study may be limited to London, but the story of the medieval city of London that can be told with ever greater precision thanks to meticulous, ongoing archaeological work, of which this book is an excellent example, is crucial to the history of the Middle Ages in all regions.'--Jennifer Lee, Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis The Medieval Review (01/01/0001)
