In addition to the kiln itself, the excavation unearthed over 400kg of pottery ‘wasters’.

Within this assemblage were many fragmentary pots, some of which could be reconstructed by our experts. About half this jar survived

...and is an excellent example of a kiln error or ‘waster’, as you can see by its distorted shape.

This careful reconstruction by our experts allows us to appreciate the complexity of making pottery in the past!
