Abstract (en)

Provides an analysis of the material from the first of three large-scale excavations in Ely, at Forehill, in 1996, when a range of pottery used in the city during the 12th to 15th cs. was recovered. The main group consisted of a gritty fabrics identified as products of the medieval Ely pottery industry. For the first time the Ely forms have been given a type series and the medieval kiln products are illustrated. The distribution of Ely pottery has not yet been fully established, but the fabric has been recognized in recently excavated material from King's Lynn and at sites in Cambridge and nearby, and in south Lincolnshire and in West Norfolk.
