Context (Production / use)
Three 'Anglo-Saxon' pots made by Jonathan Garratt of Clare College for Rosemary Luff in 1974 (June). Both clays come from a large pit in the vicinity of West Stow site, and shown to me by Stanley West. Fired in a shallow pit (6 inches deep) lined with marl, with a bonfire built over them. Time taken to fire would be approximately three hours.
