Appendix 1.8 Catalogue of illustrated pottery

Sherds from seven Anglo-Saxon pottery records have been illustrated in the catalogue. Given the small size of most of the pottery from Site 28 (mean sherd weight of 7.3g, excluding the sieved fraction), only a small number of sherds have been illustrated. All the decorated sherds have been drawn. Click on the thumbnail to see the full-size illustration.
