Stalbridge Pottery - 2018 finds
Wednesday, 20 February 2019
Nancy Grace of the National Trust helped us to name and date our pottery from Stalbridge today, with the added bonus of showing us a piece of painted plaster from Chedworth. We had a range of 17th and 18th century pieces, including tin glaze, Westerwold, stone glaze, scraffito/Donyat and Verwood ware. Look in to see some pix of the pottery fragments alongside whole pot examples.

Seaton Hoard
The Seaton Hoard in RAMM, Exeter is almost a twin of the one found at Nether Compton, where we found the possible Roman 'fortlet' (4th c.) in 2015. Same date (1st c.), same type of coins, same amount (c.25-26,000). They must have been imported from Turkey in a batch of pots, then buried, as the coins are mint. Ideas?
