Abstract:The Lewes Archaeological Group (LAG) undertook a two-year excavation programme on a medieval pottery production centre which was under threat from deep ploughing. The first year showed that a substantial deposit originating from a waster heap had been spread over the workshop remains. The second year uncovered a kiln, for which it was a priority to obtain an archaeomagnetic date. Following the excavations, the LAG instigated a programme to evaluate the pottery by using a database, and to obtain a petrological analysis of the fabrics, along with a drawing record of the pottery types. The results would help with understanding of the medieval Ringmer pottery industry, accomplish a more accurate dating for Sussex pottery, and develop our understanding of medieval kiln technology.
