30 Over the last twenty years a considerable amount of evidence has been accumulated for an extensive pottery industry at Lyveden (6) and Stanion (7), a settlement four miles to the west. The full extent and interrelation of these industries is difficult to determine and this has not been helped by the similarity of the products. It would appear at present, however, that the village of Stanion was probably the main focus of the industry although this is based on admittedly incomplete information. The use of the oolite-tempered clay was common to both centres, but is generally better refined at Lyveden, the 'snowflake' effect on the surfaces, demonstrating the uneven distribution of grits, is more characteristic of the pottery from Stanion kilns. The excavation of pottery kilns at Lyveden has given a good picture of the techniques employed but there is no evidence for the extensive use of white clay for vessels or modelling apart from its use in decoration. A kiln site in Stanion (SP914 871) (8), discovered in 1972, produced a high proportion of white, iron-free ware, which very closely resembled Stamford ware and which is very similar to that used in the aquamanile. This kiln was also producing oolite tempered ware but there was no examples of grid-pattern decoration or the applied strips associated with Lyveden. A further kiln, west of High Street, Stanion (SP9146 8695) (9) produced glazed jugs with applied strips and grid stamp decoration. It would seem that the techniques and utilisation of the clays employed in the production of the aquamanile would suggest that it should be attributed to a kiln site in the Stanion area rather than to the kilns at Lyveden.

Revised edition 19. The majority of Stanion and Lyveden glazed pottery of the 12th-14th centuries is tempered with oolite grits in varying proportions (this was pointed out by Varian Denham of the Northampton Development Corporation). There are, however, other fabrics produced at these kiln sites. In a large majority of cases these grits are-indicated by voids in the fabric. The first use of wheel-throwing at Lyveden and probably at Stanion was in the 14th century, based on an examination of: the 13ottery from these sites. This was pointed out by Mr R.Coleman-Smith and is probably the first indication of how these vessels were fired. J.M.

Archaeology Unit, Northamptonshire County Council. In advance of development, an area some 400m2 was excavated immediately to the north of the Burystead Manor Site (TL000 731) revealing a series of ditches and gullies, ranging in date from the 7th to the late llth centuries AD. A post-built structure, some 10m x 5.6m dated to 750-850 AD on the evidence of pottery found in the post-holes, was also revealed. A clue as to its possible function may be obtained from the presence of crucible fragments with bronze slag in one of the post-holes.
