A THIN SECTION EXAMINATION OF MIDDLE SAXON IPSWICH WARE POTTERY

Author(s): D F Williams

A programme of thin section analysis was undertaken on a large group of middle Saxon Ipswich ware pottery from Ipswich and several other sites. The majority of sherds fell into three broad fabric groupings, two of which included "waster" material from known Ipswich kilns. Additionally, it is also clear that "Ipswich Ware" contains a fairly wide range of dark grey sandy fabrics that may, or may not, have been made in Ipswich.
