Using the example of pottery imported into the Channel ports of southern England, an approach to examining the role of pottery in the emergence and mediation of coastal communities is proposed here. Building on recent scholarship, it is argued that it is no longer tenable to see pottery as a carrier of identity, or as part of a 'cultural package', with meaning emerging with identity as people interact with pottery within and without port environments. The study proposes that imported pottery found meaning in different ways, depending on the context of acquisition and use. Hence it mediated different forms of community and identity. The article ends with a consideration of the wider implications of this approach for ongoing studies of material culture, trade, and urban identities in medieval Europe.

“…They suggest that the name Saintonge ware should be restricted to the former wares and a broader south-western French attribution be given to the mottled-green glazed wares. Nevertheless, sherds of both types have been found on one of the production sites, at La Chapelle des Pots, excavated by Mayes (Barton 1963).…”

Here for the first time stratified medieval deposits were excavated and recorded in a scientific manner, subsequently providing Glyn Coppack with the material to construct the first medieval pottery sequence for the city (ibid).

“…Of the various medieval wares, the most numerous, the most significant and arguably the most aesthetically pleasing, both in the medieval period and today, are large quantities of French pottery from the Saintonge region of south‐west France. The region has produced pottery at least since Roman times but it is for the medieval wares that it is best known (Barton, 1963). As was often the case with ceramics, Saintonge wares seem to have piggy‐backed on cargoes of wine from Gascony.…”

From Rescue to Research: Medieval Ship Finds in St Peter Port, Guernsey

Shipping traffic is scouring away seabed sediment in St Peter Port harbour, Guernsey. Since 1985 nine sections of well-preserved medieval ship structure have been revealed, representing at least five separate vessels. Although they seem broadly contemporary, it is not yet possible to say whether any or all were lost at the same time. With their rescue under way, research has addressed their provenance, their roles, and their relationship to Guernsey and the wider medieval world. This paper discusses ships that are of international significance today not least because they were of similar importance in their own time.
