“…Evidence from Maxey (Addyman 1964) suggests that handmade Anglo-Saxon types (Groups I and II) gave way to Group III shell-tempered Maxey-type ware possibly with some overlap, some time in the Middle Saxon period. Excavations at Normanby Le Wold (Addyman and Whitwell 1970), Cherry Willingham (Field 1981), Quarrington (Walker and Lane 1996) and Riby (Steedman 1994) have demonstrated that this shell-tempered, Maxeytype ware forms the overwhelming majority of Middle Saxon pottery assemblages in Lincolnshire. At Fishergate, York (Mainman 1993a) Maxey-type ware forms the main regional type of pottery used on the site; however, quartz-tempered wares are almost as common.…”

“…Few are published. At least 4 sherds have been found at Barton-on-Humber (TA 020 220), the probable site of a Middle Saxon church, and other fi nds have been made in the vicinity of the estuary at Barrow, St. Chad's (TA 073 217; 3 sherds), Elsham (TA 045 115; 1 sherd), Holton-le-Clay (TA 280 020; 8 sherds), Humberstone Abbey (TA 311 052; 1 sherd), and Riby Crossroads (TA180 070; 9 sherds) and at least one imported continental sherd noted during excavations of the same pipeline trench (Steedman 1994).…”

“…Most other smaller excavations of Middle Saxon settlement deposits in this region have also yielded a very similar range of imports, although in much fewer numbers. Rescue excavations at Riby, in north Lincolnshire yielded northern French black-burnished ware pottery, Eiffel lava querns and a Frisian 'porcupine' sceat (Steedman 1994: 2 2 2 ; Didsbury 1994: 246-9); while lava querns and glass vessel fragments were also recovered from a Middle Saxon site documented as a monastery at Ixrk Lane, Beverley (Foreman 1991: 106;Henderson 1991: 124). A Merovingian pottery vessel from a 7th-century cemetery in Driffield (Mortimer 1905: 294) and the occurrence of northern French black-burnished ware and Tating ware at Wharram Percy (Slowikowski 1992: 29) also indicates the wider dispersal of imports away from the estuarine zone.…”

The New Cambridge Medieval History

The first volume of The New Cambridge Medieval History covers the transitional period between the later Roman world and the early middle ages, c.500 to c.700. This was an era of developing consciousness and profound change in Europe, Byzantium and the Arab world, an era in which the foundations of medieval society were laid and to which many of our modern myths of national and religious identity can be traced. This book offers a comprehensive regional survey of the sixth and seventh centuries, from Ireland in the west to the rise of Islam in the Middle East, and from Scandinavia in the north to the Mediterranean south. It explores the key themes pinning together the history of this period, from kingship, trade and the church, to art, architecture and education. It represents both an invaluable conspectus of current scholarship and an expert introduction to the period.
