Pottery ID references

[MDF Team]

Here’s a thread to post up sources of pottery ID info. Please feel free to add further links below

The Worcestershire Ceramics Online Database include locally produced medieval form types, and fabric and form information for the most commonly identified post-medieval and modern fabrics, as well as concordance information for other type series in surrounding counties. It links to further sources of data too.

I know next-to-nothing about pottery, but I thought those of you active on the Pottery identification Forum might be interested in a downloadable PDF document I spotted on the British Archaeological Jobs & Resources (BAJR) website fairly recently.

The document is a 223-page PDF titled 'A Guide to the Classification of Medieval Ceramic Forms - Medieval Pottery Research Group Occasional Paper 1', and it can be downloaded here.

The PDF appears to originate from the 'Medieval Ceramics' website (The Journal of the Medieval Pottery Research Group), and this webpage provides an explanation of the document's origins.

Enjoy!

Background: I spotted this ceramics document after encountering two other BAJR PDFs, dealing with medieval and post-medieval coin identification (see this MDF thread). A whole list of various BAJR archaeology guides can be found on the BAJR website here.
