Pottery from Excavations at Silkstone, Barnsley, South Yorkshire
Author(s): Christopher Cumberpatch
This report presents the analysis of a ceramic assemblage from the archaeological excavation on the site of the 17th century glasshouse at Silkstone, South Yorkshire. The ceramic assemblage includes pottery wasters, saggars and bricks and relates to historically known pottery production. The earliest historical date for the pottery production at Silkstone is 1754, but the archaeological evidence (in particular clay pipes) suggest that most of the pottery was dumped c.1700-c.1730). The pottery consists of press-moulded dishes (with trailed and combed slip decoration) and thrown plates and mugs (with manganese mottled decoration). The assemblage is compared with similar material from Bolsterstone and Midhope
