Prehistoric pottery

Dr Mel Johnson specialises in the prehistoric pottery of Scotland. For her PhD she studied the Iron Age pottery of the Outer Hebrides, and she has since published a number of prehistoric pottery reports for sites all over the country. Examples of her work include:

Johnson, M., 2005, ‘The Pottery’ in Neighbour, T., Excavation of a Bronze Age Kerbed Cairn at Olcote, Breasclete, near Calanais, Isle of Lewis. Scottish Archaeological Internet Reports no. 13.

Johnson, M., 2002, ‘Pottery’, in Armit, I. and Braby, A., ‘Excavation of a burnt mound and associated structures at Ceann nan Clachan, North Uist’, Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland 132, 242-246

Post-Roman pottery

Sue Anderson has been writing reports on the pottery of the Saxon to post-medieval periods in East Anglia for over ten years. She has recently applied her knowledge of medieval and later pottery to Scottish assemblages. Published examples of her reports and papers include:
