For the pottery minded among us (sorry that the alignment doesn't look very nice, cut and paste doesn't work well apparently with my web-based email)
>From my library, these are the pottery references that really are worth the read. Several of the volumes discussed pottery, but not types/shapes/compostion...really only dealing with pottery as a trade item.

A.J. Mainman

*** One of the best works on the finds. Anglian through Viking Age York (and beyond). Good
description of forms and composition with good illustrations.

General Eds: Else Roesdahl and David M. Wilson
Rizzoli International Publications, Inc.

*** Surprisingly few pictures, but fairly good descriptions.
The Vikings (A Publication of the British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art)
James Graham-Campbell and Dafydd Kidd
Jarrold and Sons, Ltd.
Norwich
1980
ISBN: 0-688-03603-1 (William Morrow and Co., Inc.)
0-87099-219-8 (Metropolitan Museum of Art)

The Archaeology of York: The Small Finds, 17/14, Craft, Industry And Everyday Life
A.J. Mainman and N.S.H. Rogers
Council for British Archaeology
York
2000
ISBN: 1-902771-11-7
*** Good simple description of types...not heavy on technical details.
The Archaeology of York: Anglian York, 7/2, Anglian York: A Survey of the Evidence
D. Tweddle, J. Moulden and E. Logan
Council for British Archaeology
York
1999
ISBN: 1-902771-06-0
*** Fair descriptions of composition. About 10 good illustrations of inscribed designs.
Early period in Regia...be careful of too early.
Wikinger Museum Haithabu: Schaufenster einer fruhen Stadt
Hildegard Elsner
Karl Wachholtz Verlag
Neumunster
(This is the guidebook for the Hedeby museum in Germany. The text is in German, and
there is no publication date or ISBN. It was purchased in the early '90's.)
*** Few pictures of the Hedeby finds. (If you can get a hold of this volume, it is very detailed
on quite a number of items.)
Jorvik Viking Centre Information Pack
(This is a booklet from the JVC, and if there was a publisher, date, or ISBN, it has since
been lost by me. It dates from approximately the mid-'80's.)
*** Good description on pottery production in simple, easy to understand language. Has
two good pictures (detailed) of domestic items and also of a couple of crucible in the
write-up on metalworking in Jorvik.
Hope this helps.
