A PETROLOGICAL NOTE ON BRONZE AGE AND SAXON POTTERY FROM ASTON MILL, KEMERTON, WORCS.
Author(s): D F Williams
A small programme of thin sectioning six Bronze Age sherds showed that all but one contained some form of grog tempering. However, rather unusually, in four of these sherds the pieces of grog were fairly sparsely distributed within the clay matrix and were subordinate to other, more frequent, types of non-plastic inclusions. They may possibly represent some form of local copying of beaker grog-tempering of pottery. The one Saxon sherd sampled may be related in fabric to Saxon pottery from Upwich, near Droitwich.
