This is the first study of a newly recognised pottery type, Ely ware.
The first part of the report details excavations in Potters Lane Ely.
The second widens the net, identifying Ely ware from other excavations
in Ely and the surrounding area. The pottery dates from the 12th to the
15th centuries with three recognisable periods within this emerging. The
report provides petrological and macroscopic description of Ely ware
fabrics, and a well illustrated catalogue of different vessel forms and
styles.
