Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley
1 Introduction In 2022 and 2023, Ethos Heritage excavated several trenches at the deserted medieval village (DMV) of High Hunsley (East Riding of Yorkshire). The excavations unearthed a large quantity of medieval and later ceramics (9,166 sherds, weighing approx. 40.36kg), the majority of which was clearly of medieval date.
1.1
Aims of the report
The following report provides an overview of the entire assemblage, aiming to establish its character and regional importance. This includes an investigation of potential differences in composition across contexts as well as the wider context of the entire assemblage. In addition, a retention and disposal strategy and possible future research are proposed. While all of the material will be assessed, the interpretative focus will primarily be placed on the medieval component of the assemblage.
2 Methodology A previous preliminary examination undertaken in April 2025 has shown that large parts of the assemblage are highly fragmented. As such, it was decided that although a detailed analysis will be undertaken, not every single piece will be recorded individually. Instead, a more adaptable recording strategy was adopted, focusing primarily on the detailed recording of non-body sherds (e.g., rims, bases, handles) and the careful consideration of a representative sample of body sherds. Very small sherds were briefly assessed to identify any vessel part, form or decorative characteristics, but were otherwise grouped as scraps. These sherds were usually highly abraded and weighed less than 1g. Identification of wares was based on the published literature, available online reference collections (such as the South Yorkshire / North Derbyshire Medieval Ceramics Reference Collection (Cumberpatch 2004), and the author's personal reference collection. The terminology used to identify individual wares is outlined in more detail in section 4 below. Vessel parts and forms were identified based on the Classification of Medieval Ceramic Forms (Medieval Pottery Research Group 1998). For characteristic sherds, decorations, nondecorative modifications, and surface treatments were recorded. Additionally, where suitable, specific measurements of sherds, including rim diameter, base diameter, wall thickness, handle thickness, and handle width, were undertaken. Where evidence for use could be identified, these traces were also recorded. The pottery evidence was analysed by context, with the number of sherds per ware and the Minimum Number of Vessels (MNV) provided (further details on the quantification of the pottery are outlined in section 3 below). This characterisation of the ceramics found in each trench and context is described in section 4.10 below and includes an overview of the presence of different wares and their forms as well as a description of the context assemblage. This characterisation forms the basis of the wider

Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley interpretation and contextualisation of the High Hunsley assemblage which is discussed in more detail in section 6 below. No scientific analysis was carried out as part of this analysis; however, recommendations for such analysis have been provided in section 7 below.
3 Quantification As highlighted above, the quantification of the material was adapted to work with the research strategy outline above. As such, each vessel part other than undiagnostic body sherds, was recorded and weighed individually. Undiagnostic body sherds were grouped by ware, counted and weighed as a group. Where possible, sherds in a context that belonged to the same vessel were recorded as such. For each record the Average Sherd Weight (ASW) has been calculated, providing additional context for the records. For all records of a ware in a context a Minimum Number of Vessels (MNV) was provided. Where this was not possible, due to the fragmentation, a comment has been added to the relevant table. The records have also been provided per trench. As highlighted above, there are issues with the quantification due to the retention of a large number of smaller sherds (i.e. scraps), that are small and not identifiable to ware, vessel part or form. These have been provided in the quantification tables per context and are commented on in each context.
4 Characterisation During the investigation of the assemblage, an attempt has been made to separate the ceramics from High Hunsley into individual ware types. Each of these types is described in the following sub-sections. For simplicity, wares have been grouped into ware groups, such as “Humber wares”, which includes the ceramics from different production sites (such as West Cowick (Hayfield and Greig 1990) and Holme-upon-Spalding Moor (Mayes and Hayfield 1980)). Where possible vessels have been assigned to individual wares within these groups. Where no identification was possible, material has been recorded as “Unidentified” and additional information has been provided where suitable (i.e. fabric and other characteristics).
4.1
Beverley wares
Pottery production at Beverley is presumed to have started at some point in the 12th century in the Grovehill suburb, where, since 1985, pottery production waste has been uncovered (Watkins 1987, 83). Past research on stratified assemblages from Beverley has highlighted two likely phases of production (usually referred to as Beverley 1 and 2). The first phase is usually dated to the 12th–13th centuries, and the latter to the 13th–14th centuries. Past research has provided a range of contrasting and at times conflicting definitions on how wares of either phase can be identified (Watkins 1991, 80; 90; Didsbury and Watkins 1992, 108–111; 114; Vince
Beyond Archaeology
6
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley 2004c, 1; Didsbury and Holbrey 2009, 220; Jenner 2023, 30–31). Recent review of the debate and archaeometric research on the wares (Signer in prep) have highlighted that besides different product ranges, only the presence of copper in the glaze of the Phase 2 wares is a definite indicator between these vessels. This research has also highlighted that the ceramic fabric of the Beverley wares was naturally variable and that no tempering was undertaken by the potters. As a result, unless vessel sherds are evident of specific forms or have characteristic glazes or decorations, it is currently not possible to assign Beverley ware products to either of the two phases. As such, in the following classifications, Beverley ware products have been assigned to the overarching ware group, unless specific characteristics allowed them to be assigned to one of the two phases.
4.2
Cistercian wares
These vessels are well known across England and were produced at a number of centres, including Wrenthorpe (Moorhouse and Roberts 1992) and Potterton (Mayes and Pirie 1966) in Yorkshire. Cistercian ware products are characterised by a red to purple body colour and were at times decorated. The vessels are also usually covered in a thick purple/black glaze. Traditionally, Cistercian wares have usually been dated to a period ranging from the late 15th to the beginning of the 17th century (Mayes and Pirie 1966; Moorhouse and Roberts 1992). Although an early 15th-century date seems unlikely, evidence from Mount Grace Priory (Hayfield 2019, 320) suggests that production might have started earlier. Cumberpatch (2021, 20) has since suggested a starting date in the mid-15th century. In Yorkshire, most of the Cistercian ware vessels found on excavations are cups and mugs.
4.3
Gritty wares
Gritty wares stand out for their usually buff-to-cream surface colours and gritty texture. While they are at times found on the Yorkshire Wolds (e.g. at Wharram Percy (Le Patourel 1979; Slowikowski et al. 2015) and at Burdale (Austin and Jelley 2012)) and elsewhere in East Yorkshire (e.g. in Beverley (Watkins 1991; Didsbury and Watkins 1992) and Driffield (Vince and Steane 2008)), they are mostly associated with production centres located west of York (see review of Vince and Young (2007)). However, several medieval pottery production sites in the Howardian Hills produced similar gritty products. As such, where possible an origin for Gritty wares will be suggested; otherwise their fabric will be described.
4.4
Humber wares
This is a regional tradition of wares produced at various locations throughout the Humber basin. Many of these production sites have been identified in Yorkshire (such as West Cowick (Hayfield and Greig 1990; Vince and Steane 2007) and Holme-upon-Spalding Moor (Mayes and Hayfield 1980), as well as a number of sites in York (Mainman and Jenner 2013, 1257– 1265)), but its distribution into Lincolnshire has led to the suggestion that further production sites might have been located there (Hayfield 1992). In addition to the known production sites in Yorkshire, Humber ware wasters have been found in North Newbald (Didsbury and Wastling
Beyond Archaeology
7
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley 2017, 267), suggesting that additional production may have been taking place close to High Hunsley. In addition, Humber ware wasters were identified in Driffield, which may suggest that a further production site was located in East Yorkshire. Such a production site would explain the identification of “Chalky Humber ware” near the Yorkshire Wolds (Earnshaw and Watkins 1984, 24; Hayfield 1992, 41). The study of the Yorkshire material has suggested that, although many of the produced fabrics and forms are similar, there are subtle differences between different production sites (Watkins 1987, 98–106). However, these differences are not always easily identifiable, and as a result, material is usually identified as either Humber ware or Humber-type ware. Additional information on materials associated with a particular production site will be provided in the analysis below. On most Yorkshire sites, Humber ware jugs, jars, and bowls are most common, with pipkins, urinals, bottles, and a range of other forms making up a minor component of the available range. It is important to note that although Watkins (1987, 106) included Late Humberware as a Humberware type (referring to it as Humber (5)), it is now usually considered separate as it seems to mostly date to the post-medieval period, producing different forms and frequently being glazed on both sides. It is not always easy to distinguish between medieval and postmedieval Humber fabrics, and, as such, it is possible that many of the uncharacteristic Humber-type ware sherds in the assemblage below fall into either category.
4.5
North Yorkshire Whitewares
This group includes the medieval products usually described as Brandsby ware, Hambleton ware and York Glazed ware. The most important of these for the assemblage discussed below are York Glazed ware, which, despite its name, was not produced in the city itself, but in the Howardian Hills. The body colour of the ware is characteristically white (although shades of grey, brown and pink are known) and is usually covered in a green or yellow glaze (Mainman and Jenner 2013, 1203). The ware is also known for its decorations, which include elaborate applied elements (such as seals and hunting scenes), and jugs and jars are most prevalent. In York, the ware is given a general date range from between the mid/late 12th to the mid/late 13th century (Mainman and Jenner 2013, 1203). A similar date range has been suggested for the material found outside of the city (Slowikowski et al. 2015, 8).
4.6
Purple Glazed wares
This group includes purple glazed wares, which are mostly related to the Humber wares discussed above. It is known from the production site of West Cowick that this ware was produced alongside the Humber wares (Perry, Watson and Jackson 2024) and thus does not mark a successor to those wares. Jugs, jars and bowls have so far been identified in the fabric. It is highly likely that multiple production sites in East Yorkshire produced such wares, although only West Cowick is currently known.
Beyond Archaeology
8
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley The date range for this ware is generally between the late 15th and 16th centuries, although it has been suggested to have started earlier in the 15th century (Perry et al. 2024). The dating most likely depends on its relationship with other Humber wares and wares that use purple glazes.
4.7
Staxton-type wares
This ware group encompasses Staxton and Staxton-type wares produced at a number of different sites in eastern Yorkshire. Known production sites are located in Staxton and Potter Brompton (Brewster and Hayfield 1992), North Newbald (Didsbury and Wastling 2017), and Hedon (Hayfield 1984a). At all of these production sites, production was primarily limited to different types of jars and bowls, but other minor forms (such as dishes, curfews, jugs) are also known. The Staxton ware jars usually come in two different forms: rounded jars (characterised by a rounded form and obtuse-angled bases) and inturned jars (characterised by a squat form and acute-angled bases). Recent research on production material from Staxton has confirmed that these wares were not wheel-thrown and highlighted that the production processes of these different jar forms varied (Signer, Perry and McClain 2026). Multiple production sites have been identified in East Yorkshire producing a similar range of Staxton-type vessels that share common characteristics (e.g., vessel forms, decoration, forming method). Additionally, further production sites have been suggested to have existed but in East Yorkshire (e.g. Bridlington and Beverley) as well as to the North of the Vale of Pickering and in North Lincolnshire. Based on the evidence from Beverley (Watkins 1991; Didsbury and Watkins 1992) and Hull (Watkins 1987), it seems likely that the Coarse Sandy wares replaced the Staxton-type wares at some point in the 14th century. No production site has yet been identified for this ware, and both forms and fabrics are similar to the Staxton-type ware fabrics from North Newbald and Staxton, and as such, it is possible that some of the Staxton-type material described below is Coarse Sandy ware.
4.8
Unidentified wares
Across the assemblage, a number of unidentified medieval and post-medieval wares were identified. Where possible these have been grouped into fabric groups and described. It is likely that many of these date to the late medieval/early post-medieval period.
4.9
Post-medieval/modern wares
Where definitive post-medieval or modern material was encountered, this was described in detail, and, where possible, an identification and date were suggested.
4.10 Tiles and CBM
In the assemblage several tile fragments and pieces of CBM were encountered. Most of the former have been catalogued in detail in Appendix 9.3.

5 Description To contextualise the ceramic evidence and comment on pottery disposal and site formation processes, the ceramic compositions of the individual contexts (including sherd condition and fragmentation) will be discussed in more detail. This will allow for a more detailed interpretation and provide the basis for a wider interpretation of the assemblage in section 6 below.
5.1
Unstratified
In total, 67 sherds (weighing 397.4g) were marked as unstratified and have been assessed as a singular group of sherds (Table 1). For some of these sherds, additional context information (such as trench and excavation year) is available and has been preserved in the spreadsheet (see also Appendix 9.5).

Overall, the assemblage contains the major fabric types encountered across the whole assemblage. Notable are the two Staxton-type rims, one of which has a flanged rim form, and the two Staxton-type bases with an obtuse basal angle. One Staxton-type body sherd may have originated from a vessel produced at North Newbald. The assemblage also contains a single post-medieval salt-glazed brown body sherd.
5.2
Trench 1
The material from Trench 1 contains 2,736 sherds (weighing approximately 12.9kg), the majority of which originate from Contexts 101 and 102 and date broadly to the medieval period, although a notable number of post-medieval/modern sherds are present (Table 2). In addition, a large proportion of the unidentified sherds likely date to the late medieval and post-medieval period.

The Beverley ware component of the context assemblage includes two rims with upright profiles and external bevels (nos. 1–2 in Figure 56), likely from jugs. However, both rim sherds
Beyond Archaeology
11
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley seem more highly fired than usual Beverley wares and are thus considered potential wares. The context also contained a number of strap handles that showed evidence of glaze and were likely from jugs. Many of the Beverley-type ware body sherds were uncharacteristic, but many were glazed and likely originated from glazed tablewares. One sherd had an applied vertical strip with notches (A in Figure 1), suggesting that Beverley 2 ware vessels are present in this context. No definite bases of Beverley ware vessels were identified, but it is possible that some of the potential Humber ware bases are from Beverley products.
Figure 1 – A) Decorated glazed Beverley 2 ware body sherd with vertical applied strip with notched design; B) Cistercian-type ware base with possible glaze deposit on the exterior. All from Context 101.
The context also contains a small quantity of Cistercian ware sherds of two likely vessels. These sherds have a black glaze on both sides and a relatively thick wall thickness. In addition to the body sherds, the context also contains a small base of a Cistercian ware cup (B in Figure 1), with residue on the exterior basal angle and the underside of the base. The base has a 6cm diameter (20% completion) and is slightly splayed. The context also contains four sherds of various Gritty ware fabrics. However, the rims were too small and abraded to determine which vessel forms they originate from. One of the major components of the context assemblage are Humber ware sherds. These include several jug rims, most of which had a collared rim profile and, where possible, indicate that jug rim diameters varied between 11cm and 12cm. The one definite jar rim had an everted form with a rounded profile (no. 3 in Figure 56) and matches Humber ware jars known from Holme-upon-Spalding Moor (see nos. 1–6 in Mayes and Hayfield (1980, 106)). It is notable that this rim has a partial brown glaze on the interior (A in Figure 2), which is known from other Humber ware jars (e.g. those found in York (Holdsworth 1978, 31; Brooks 1987, 93)). Many of the Humber ware body sherds were undiagnostic to the vessel forms they originated from, and a small number were decorated. One of which has a ring motif (B in Figure 2), similar to the one identified in Context 102, and its significance is described in more detail below. The context also contains two fragments of bungholes (C in Figure 2), which most likely originate from Humber-type ware at two different bunghole jars/jugs. No evidence of glaze or decoration could be identified on these vessel parts, suggesting they were not produced

Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley at Holme-upon-Spalding Moor, where vessels were usually decorated with frilling. All of the Humber-type bases were obtuse-angled, with several pieces showing thumbing on the exterior, suggesting that they originated from jugs and/or bunghole jars/jugs. In addition, there were three jug handles in the assemblage, two of which had ribbed decoration on top, with one showing a likely deliberate perforation (D in Figure 2), as known from Humber ware handles found in Hull (Armstrong 1980, 38).

A small number of purple-glazed sherds are also present in this context, one of which is a small rim fragment with potential thumbing on the top. These sherds likely originate from a small number of later medieval or early post-medieval jugs. The context assemblage also contains evidence of a likely singular jug in a North Yorkshire Whiteware fabric. Eleven sherds, including a rim with an upright rim form (no. 4 in Figure 56), indicate that the vessel had a rim diameter of 16cm (15% completeness) and was glazed with a green glaze on the exterior. Although an obtuse-angled base of the same vessel is present in the assemblage, it was too fragmented to establish a base diameter. Staxton wares make up a considerable component of the assemblage, and there are a number of sherds that likely originate from the North Newbald production site as well as the production centres in the Vale of Pickering. The bases indicate that most of the Staxton-type

Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley vessels in this context are from obtuse-angled jars or bowls. The context also contains two right-angled bases, which perhaps originate from straight-sided bowls known from Staxton (Brewster and Hayfield 1992, 56). The context also contains a single acute-angled base, which likely originates from an inturned jar (i.e., peat pot) and, due to its fabric and thickness, is almost certainly a Staxton or Potter Brompton product. This sherd also has traces of sooting on the interior. Most Staxton-type ware rims in this context have a flanged rim form, although rounded, squared, and collared forms are also present. The latter is a possible Staxton-type ware jug rim, with a rim diameter of 14cm (10% completion). The only other rim that was large enough to measure has a diameter of 40cm, indicating that this sherd likely belongs to a bowl. A large component of this context contains unidentified material. Much of this material is highly fragmented and of little interpretative value. Among them are a few notable sherd groups. The first of which consists of possibly two highly fired, slightly gritty vessels. The first is likely a small jug, whose wheel-thrown base (A in Figure 3) is largely complete. The second is a bunghole jar/jug, with part of the thumbing decoration of a possible handle attachment (B in Figure 3) and two pieces of the bunghole present (C in Figure 3).

Among the notable remaining material is a base of a highly vitrified vessel (A in Figure 4), where traces of bloating are present, but this evidently did not lead to the wastage of the vessel. In addition, the most recent material from the context contains a small number of Beyond Archaeology

This latter piece, with its acornand-oak-leaf decoration (B in Figure 4), likely originates from a Staffordshire plate, possibly dating to the mid-19th century. As such, the spot date for Context 101 is the 19th century onwards.

Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley Beverley wares are represented through both rims and body sherds, which mainly originate from glazed jugs. Decorations found on the glazed body sherds of these jugs included vertical applied strips with notches (A in Figure 5), which likely originate from Beverley 2 ware jugs. There are a few brown-glazed body sherds, too, which likely come from similar jugs of the same ware. The rims all have an upright profile and suggest that these jugs had a diameter of 9-12 cm. No definite Beverley-type ware bases were identified in the assemblage.
Figure 5 – A) Decorated glazed Beverley body sherd of a jug; B) Decorated body sherd with incised lines of possible Humber-type ware jug; C) Small body sherd with row of ring decorations. All from Context 102.
The context also contains six sherds of a singular Cistercian ware vessel (most likely a cup). However, these sherds do not show any traces of decoration and were glazed on both the exterior and interior. Gritty wares are represented by ten body sherds, which most likely originate from at least four different vessels. None of these has any decoration or glaze, and as such no vessel form can be suggested for these pieces. Humber wares make up a considerable part of this context assemblage. However, only two rims could be identified, one of which may have originated from a jar. Among the Humbertype ware body sherds, a variety of fabrics are represented, likely indicating that these vessels originated at different production sites. However, few of these sherds are decorated, and the only two that are more elaborately decorated deserve closer attention. One potential Humber-type body sherd stands out due to the presence of incised decorations (B in Figure 5). This sherd shows multiple incised (possibly wavy) lines, which are occasionally found on Humber vessels produced at Holme-upon-Spalding Moor (see no. 33 in Mayes and Hayfield (1980, 106)) and West Cowick (Hayfield 1985, nos. 2–8 in Figure 228). The second sherd (C in Figure 5) has a decoration consisting of a row of stamped circles, most likely forming a horizontal or vertical strip. Similar decorations are known from Humber ware vessels found (among others) in places such as York (no. 727 in Brooks (1987)) and Beverley (no. 1 in Fig. 19 in Watkins and Williams (1983, 79)), although the ring decorations are usually more widely spaced. As such, this sherd is treated as a potential Humber-type ware and may have a different origin.

Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley Among the remaining Humber wares were several obtuse-angled jug bases, including two that contained thumbing decorations on the exterior. One of these showed a grouping of two finger marks on the exterior basal angle (A in Figure 6), where some of the green glaze of the vessel collected.
Figure 6 – A) Thumbing on the exterior basal angle of a Humber ware jug, with glaze present in the thumbing marks; B) Unglazed and undecorated bunghole from a Humber ware bunghole jar/jug. All from Context 102.
This basal thumbing is at times found on Humber ware vessels and can be matched to examples in consumer assemblages from Hedon (no. 502 in Fig. 26 in Hayfield (1984a, 59)), Fangfoss (no. 82 in Fig. 19 in (1978, 125)), Hull (nos. 6, 24, 26, 27, 32, 34, 38, in Figs. 95–96 and 99 in (1993, 133–134, 137)), and other places (e.g. Bawtry (Cumberpatch 1996, 72)). The context assemblage also contained a singular bunghole from a bunghole jar/jug (cistern), which was unglazed and decorated (B in Figure 6). The undecorated, raised area around the hole matches the bungholes known from the production site at West Cowick (Hayfield 1985, no. 6 in Figure 227), but is different to the frilled ones known from Holme-upon-Spalding Moor (Mayes and Hayfield 1980, 108). The context also contains several North Yorkshire Whiteware sherds which most likely originate from a singular vessel. All of the sherds have a green glaze on a buff to white fabric and likely originate from a jug or bunghole jar/jug (see discussion below). One of the body sherds has incised (possibly combed) decoration on it (A in Figure 7). The singular base sherd has two small thumbing marks present. The largest component of identified wares in this context consists of Staxton-type wares. Among this material are both obtuse- and acute-angled bases, indicating the presence of both rounded and inturned jars. Two of the latter were large enough to establish a base diameter, which in both instances was approx. 26cm. Most Staxton-type rims in this context have a flanged profile, with fewer squared examples also present. Unfortunately, all Staxtontype rims are too small to determine vessel diameters. The Staxton-type ware body sherds, although numerous, were largely uncharacteristic as to the forms they originated. There is also variability in the fabrics, and several sherds showed similarities to the fabrics from the North

Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley Newbald production site. However, the inturned jar bases and a considerable quantity of the other material matched the fabric from the Staxton and Potter Brompton production sites.
Figure 7 – A) Glazed and decorated body sherd of a likely York Glazed ware jug; B) Glazed body sherd of an unidentified Gritty ware jug; C) Small Handle of a pipkin in an unidentified Gritty ware fabric. All from Context 102.
A large component of this context assemblage consists of unidentified wares, among which a number of Gritty ware fabrics were present. These were all highly fired sherds and most likely of late medieval or post-medieval date. Some of the gritty sherds have green glaze on the exterior (B in Figure 7) and are thus likely to have originated from jugs. The presence of a rim in a similar fabric, with a thickened rim profile, further supports this. One unidentified gritty ware pipkin handle (C in Figure 7) was also present and could not be provenanced, but it provides further evidence for the presence of pipkins at the site. In addition, the context also contains a single rim of a likely Purple Glazed ware jug (A in Figure 8). This piece shows the presence of purple glaze across the exterior and interior of the rim, as well as a handle stump. There were a small number of unidentified purple glazed body sherds in the assemblage as well. Among the unidentified sherds are two sherds of a light green-glazed jug (B in Figure 8), for which, however, no origin could be established with certainty; it could perhaps be a Beverley of Humber product. It is also notable that the unidentified sherds contain several joining sherds of larger vessels, including a large brown glazed vessel (C in Figure 8). This was likely a large jar with a glazed interior, likely of post-medieval date. There are also at least three unidentified greyware vessels in a highly fired, fine grey fabric. No form could be identified for these vessels, but they all seem to be of either late medieval or post-medieval date. Overall, despite the abundance of medieval material, the presence of several post-medieval vessels suggests that the context dates to the mid-16th century onwards. In addition to all of the pottery, this context also contains two pieces of roof tile and a small amount of CBM.

5.2.3
Context 103
This context contains 6 small pieces of pottery weighing 5.16g (ASW 0.9g) that cannot be assigned to a vessel part or form. The fabric of all sherds is very similar, and it is thus possible that they originate from the same vessel. The sherds show similarities to the Humber-type fabrics encountered elsewhere in the assemblage, but they are too small to establish that with certainty. A medieval date for the context is suggested, but this is based solely on its similarity to other medieval material.
5.2.4
Context 105
This context contains 18 sherds (weighing 74.0g) containing different fabrics and vessel parts (Table 5). The scraps in this context show similarities to the Staxton and Humber wares but are too small (ASW 0.83g) to be of interpretative value. The single Beverley-type ware sherd has a pale orange fabric and small spots of glaze and could have come from a Beverley 1 ware jug. However, the sherd is too small to establish the form for certain. Humber wares are represented by two green-glazed body sherds likely also originating from jugs. The Staxton-type ware material consists of four body sherds, one of which has a slightly grittier fabric and more frequent inclusions and may originate from the North Newbald production site. The singular base has an obtuse basal angle and does not seem to belong to any of the vessels indicated by the body sherds. The two sherds of an unidentified ware, likely originating from the same vessel, have a fine fabric and appear to Beyond Archaeology

Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley have been fired to high temperatures. It is likely that these date to the later medieval period. Overall, it is difficult to establish a spot date due to the presence of only a few diagnostic pieces. However, a late medieval date (perhaps the 14th–15th centuries) would be appropriate. The context also contains five tile fragments and three pieces of CBM. Table 5 – Overview of the quantification of the pottery in Context 105 by MNV and vessel parts.

The single Beverley-type rim (consisting of two joining pieces) has an upright rim profile (no. 5 in Figure 56), and although no traces of glaze are visible, its rim diameter (11cm, 20% Beyond Archaeology
20
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley completion) and overall form would suggest that it originates from a jug. The body sherds include two decorated sherds with applied strips; a feature usually found on decorated Beverley type 2 ware jugs. Similarly, there was one brown-glazed sherd from a Beverley 2 ware jug. There is a singular rim of a possible Cistercian ware vessel. The rim has black glaze on the interior and exterior and originates from a vessel with an 8cm diameter, 11% completion). No decoration is visible on the sherd. Humber wares make up a substantial part of this assemblage and consist of a range of rims from both jugs and jars. The rims of these vessels exhibit a range of profiles and are too small to reconstruct their vessel forms. Among these was a rim (two joining pieces) with a yellowgreen and purple-brown glaze (A in Figure 9, no. 6 in Figure 56) which matches the singular handle (B in Figure 9) from the context. Both the rim and handle most likely originate from the same vessel. The bevelled rim has a diameter of 14cm (20% completion) and is likely part of a jug. Besides these sherds, there were a number of jug bases, some of which had thumbing on the exterior basal angle.
Figure 9 – A) Yellow-green and purple-brown glaze strap handle of the possible Humber-type jug; B) Rim with similar glaze. All from Context 106.
The Staxton-type ware component of the context assemblage consists of several rims, most of which had a flanged rim form. Although most of the rims were small, one was large enough to determine its rim diameter, which measured 20cm (8% completion). One of the rims is in a fabric similar to the Staxton-type vessels produced at North Newbald. The Staxton-type bases in this context were mostly obtuse-angled, but two acute-angled bases could be identified, which originate from inturned jars. No decorations could be identified on any of the Staxtontype material. The assemblage also contains several, rims, body sherds, bases, that are of unidentified fabrics but are most likely medieval in date. In addition, two bases (one of which has an unusual thick base thickness) are potentially of a later medieval/early post-medieval date. As such, a late medieval to early post-medieval date seems to be most likely for this context.

The context assemblage contains two glazed Beverley-type ware body sherds that most likely originate from two different vessels (most likely jugs). The Humber ware evidence similarly originates from glazed body and unglazed body sherds, and a singular handle. The latter had a ribbed decorative pattern on top and was glazed in a dark green glaze (A in Figure 10) and originates from a jug.
Figure 10 – A) Ribbed and glazed handle from a Humber-type ware jug; B) Flanged rim of a likely Staxtontype ware bowl; C) Three body sherds of an unidentified high fired vessel (bottom right sherd shows interior, rest exterior). All Context 108.
The Staxton-type ware sherds include the only rim from this context, which has a flanged rim profile (no. 7 in Figure 56), a reduced core and an oxidised surface (B in Figure 10). The vessel's rim diameter is 32cm (5.5% completeness), and its width is 24mm. This diameter is on the larger side for a jar (cf. Brewster and Hayfield (1992, 54)) and is more likely to originate from a bowl. Beyond Archaeology
22
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley Besides a small number of scraps (4 sherds, ASW 1.05g), the context also contains three body sherds of a singular vessel in a light grey fabric (C in Figure 10). The texture and the fact that the vessel was fired to high temperatures suggests that this a stoneware vessel, and thus dates to the later medieval or post-medieval period.

This context contains 3 tiny pieces of pottery weighing 2.09g (ASW 0.7g) that cannot be assigned to a vessel part or form.

The large scrap component (ASW 1.24g) alongside the presence of post-medieval and modern vessels suggests that this context was disturbed in the past and was likely ploughed. Many of the wares showed abrasion, although this was variable across the context assemblage. Table 9 – Overview of the quantification of the pottery in Context 201 by MNV and vessel parts.

This context contains a considerable quantity of likely Beverley ware vessels, many of which were glazed and most likely originate from a number of different glazed jugs. This includes several examples with vertical applied strips on the exterior (A in Figure 11) and three decorated body sherds with raspberry motifs (B in Figure 11). As discussed above, the presence of the former indicates that Beverley 2 ware vessels are present in this context. The latter are of particular interest as, although such decorations are also at times found on Scarborough wares (suggested based on evidence from York, see Brooks (1987)) and Humber wares (suggested based on evidence from Wharram Percy (Le Patourel 1979) and Howden (Didsbury 2005)), they are more common on Beverely vessels and comparable decorated sherds have been identified in East Yorkshire at Hessle (Vince 2004b), Beverley (Vince and Steane 2005c), Melton (Vince et al. 2007), Wawne (Vince 2004d), Driffield (Didsbury 1992), and Tunstall (Cumberpatch 2011). These decorations commonly occur alongside ears of wheat stamps (see example from Beverley (Watkins 1991, 94)) and it is possible that some of the partial decorations identified in this context (C in Figure 11) are such decorations.

Where a vessel rim diameter could be measured on the Beverley ware material, these ranged from 11cm to 13cm and were usually of a squared or thickened rim form (although the latter is more common). It is possible that the squared rims are indicative of Beverley 1 ware vessels, as these are more common on the material from the earlier phases (e.g. see rims from waster material found at Annie Reed Road (Didsbury and Holbrey 2009)). One of the Beverley ware jug bases was large enough to measure the base diameter, which indicated a base diameter of 26cm (9% completion), within the range usually found on Beverley 2 ware jugs (cf. no. 195 in Fig. 77 in Watkins (1991, 92)). Across the context assemblage, eight Gritty ware sherds were identified. These have a gritty texture and a cream to buff body colour, with traces of sooting on the exterior. Only a single base is glazed and the single rim is very small but has a squared form. The single glazed sherd is a base with a green glaze on the interior and may have originated from a bowl. The largest identified component of this context assemblage consists of Humber-type wares, including material from a range of vessels. All of the Humber-type bases have an obtuse basal angle, and six of them showed evidence of thumbing on the exterior (see example in A in Figure 12). Where a base diameter could be measured, this ranged between 14cm and 20cm (n=5). Among the body Humber-type body sherds, several sherds had a green-glazed exterior, and the decorations were limited to horizontal lines (see example in B in Figure 12). One Humber-type body sherd deserves special attention, as it shows evidence of rouletting decoration on the exterior (C in Figure 12). Only a single sherd with this pattern was identified across the assemblage, consisting of three horizontal rows of small square rouletting patterns, and no evidence for glaze was found. While the fabric matches that of the other Humber-type wares, rouletting is not common on those wares (e.g. it is absent from the vessels produced at Holme-upon-Spalding Moor (Mayes and Hayfield 1980)). However, the Humber-type ware

Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley vessels produced at Walmgate, York, have previously been suggested to have used rouletting as a decorative technique (Brooks 1987, 183). Of the four known sites where rouletted Humber wares have been identified, three were located in York (at St Joseph’s Convent (Cumberpatch 2018), Aldwark (Brooks 1987, 183), and Boroughbridge Road (Jenner and Bradshaw 2023)), and one in Doncaster (Cumberpatch 2012). It is thus possible that this is a sherd of a Walmgate vessel, or that it originates from a different production site entirely.

All from Context 201.
Among the Humber-type ware material is also a singular bunghole part that shows no evidence of glaze or decoration but indicates the presence of bunghole jars/jugs (cisterns). Further evidence for such vessels is present in the form of wide glazed strap handles (D in Figure 12) that also have a slight raise in their profile, which is usually found on such vessels (e.g. those produced at Holme-upon-Spalding Moor, see no. 28 in Mayes and Hayfield (1980, 106)). It is notable that a similar handle was identified in Context 216 (see B in Figure 23), which exhibits the same characteristics and abrasion patterns, and it is possible that they both originate from the same vessel. The context also contained at least five handles with ribbed decoration and glaze, which likely originate from jugs and are similar to those uncovered at Scale Lane in Hull (Armstrong 1980). Where Humber-type ware rims could be identified, only a few are large enough to establish rim diameters. Four of these show that the jugs' diameters varied between 10cm and 14cm. One of the rims had thumbing decoration on its exterior. In addition, two jug spouts in Humber-type ware fabrics were identified, further supporting that much of the Humber-type ware material originated from jugs and bunghole jars/jugs.
Beyond Archaeology
26
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley In the context are also at least 12 sherds that match the North Yorkshire Whiteware fabrics produced in the Howardian Hills. All of this material from this context has a green glaze on the exterior and most likely originated from at least two vessels. Due to the glaze, these were most likely jugs or other glazed forms (such as bunghole jars/jugs). The second-largest identified component in this context consists of Staxton-type wares. The Staxton-type bases come in two different types, with most having an obtuse basal angle, while fewer have an acute one. Although most of the bases are small in size and abraded, some base diameters could be measured. These show that the diameters of obtuse-angled bases were smaller (between 16cm and 24cm), while those of acute-angled bases were larger (between 30cm and 34cm). The former likely originated from rounded jars and bowls, while the latter were from inturned jars (i.e. peat pots). Both of these forms are characteristic of the pottery production sites at Staxton and Potter Brompton (Brewster and Hayfield 1992). On the Staxton material, variable body colours could be identified, depending on whether these areas were reduced or oxidised. The same is true of the rims, most of which show common chalk inclusions in the fabric, a characteristic associated with the Staxton and Potter Brompton production sites, as well as with the nearby North Newbald sites. However, for a majority of the material, an origin at the latter can be excluded as the fabric is different. A number of rims, however, had sparse shell inclusions which are associated with North Newbald and are likely products. Most rims had a flanged profile, with fewer being squared or thickened. The context also contains a range of post-medieval and modern wares, including a small number of possible salt-glazed body sherds (A in Figure 13), porcelain (B in Figure 13), and several unidentified coarser fabrics.
Figure 13 – A) Body sherd of a brown glazed post-medieval ware; B) Porcelain body sherd; C) Rim with thumbing decoration of a possible Purple Glazed ware vessel. All from Context 201.
Among the latter was a rim with purple and green glaze (C in Figure 13), which is likely a rim from a Purple Glazed ware vessel. A similar rim has previously been identified at Walmgate in
Beyond Archaeology
27
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley York (Mainman 2003, 167). The context also contains sherds of unidentified whitewares (with possible tin glaze) and a possible Cistercian ware vessel, which, together with the porcelain above, suggest a post-medieval/modern date for the context. Besides pottery, the context also contains several fragments of roof tile in the fabric known from other contexts (see discussion below).

Context 202
This context contains 202 sherds (weighing 1,015.4g) containing mostly body sherds from several different ware groups (Table 10). Notably, compared with many other contexts, several sherds could be assigned to the same vessels. The context assemblage also contains a relatively large number of scraps, which mainly consist of small, abraded fragments (ASW of 0.68g).

This context contains a number of Beverley wares, including glazed body sherds that likely originate from jugs and a dark green/brown glazed body sherd that likely originates from a bowl. The Humber wares are represented through several glazed body sherds of several different vessels. Some of these pieces are green glazed. North Yorkshire Whitewares are represented by two possible York Glazed ware body sherds with a green glaze on a characteristic white/buff fabric, matching the wares found in York (Mainman and Jenner 2013, 1205–1215). These likely originate from jugs too. Staxton wares make up the largest component of the identified wares and consist of a flanged rim (A in Figure 14, no. 8 in Figure 57) which likely originates from a jar or bowl (22cm diameter, 6.5% completion), and a large number of body sherds, many of which likely originate from the same vessels. Among the unidentified material were several groups of sherds that most likely originated from the same vessel (which, as noted above, has rarely been observed in the other contexts). This includes 28 purple glazed sherds that all came from the same vessel (see examples in D Beyond Archaeology
28
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley in Figure 14). Based on the shape and position of the glaze, this was most likely a jug. However, the fabric does not match the usually highly fired Purple Glazed ware fabric found elsewhere (cf. with C in Figure 27). As such, this has been grouped under 'unidentified wares'. One rim with a similar purple glaze was identified in this context and is likely to have a flanged profile. An unidentified, brown-glazed vessel is also present in the context. In addition, a small, blackglazed base (possibly from a cup/mug) was identified, although no other pieces of it are present in this context.

Several other unidentified sherds were identified in this context, including a handle fragment and a number of bases, which are most likely of post-medieval date due to their thickness and texture. The context also contains salt-glazed sherds of multiple origins. This includes a base and four body sherds of a grey coloured vessel (B in Figure 14), and three salt-glazed brown sherds (C in Figure 14) that all seem to belong to different vessels. Together with the two pieces of whiteware, these sherds date the context to the post-medieval/modern period.

This context contains several possible Beverley-type wares that exhibit some of the main Beverley fabric characteristics, with a range of glazes. However, the sherds are small, so a definite identification is not readily possible. The one Beverley-type rim originates from a jug and shows evidence of glaze on the exterior. However, it is too small to establish a rim diameter. Three small sherds in the characteristic Beverley fabric and brown glaze were identified, which most likely originate from a glazed Beverley 2 ware jug. The assemblage also contains a decorated Cistercian ware sherd (A in Figure 15), showing a small part of the characteristic slip decoration. This sherd thus likely originates from a small cup. A considerable component of this context assemblage originates from Humber wares, most of which are a range of highly fragmented, uncharacteristic body sherds. However, there are a number of small bases, one of which has a thumbing mark on the exterior and likely originates from a jug. One of the larger base pieces has a kiln scar on the exterior (B in Figure 15), where another glazed vessel was stacked in the kiln. Staxton ware sherds made up the largest component of the assemblage and included seven small fragments of flanged rims, likely originating from jars and bowls. The Staxton ware body sherds likely originate from a number of different vessels. The assemblage also contained nine small, unidentified sherds as well as 23 scraps that were too small to be of interpretative value. The assemblage also included a small sherd of an unidentified post-medieval ware (with a possible tin glaze on both sides), suggesting that, despite the large medieval component, the assemblage dates to the post-medieval period.

Context 204
This context contains 15 sherds (weighing 62.2g), all body sherds of at least two different Staxton ware vessels (Table 12).

Context 205
This context contains 106 sherds (weighing 863.5g) containing several different fabrics and vessel parts (Table 13). This context did not have a component of small scraps. Among the Beverley wares is a jug rim with a simple profile (no. 10 in Figure 57) and a pulled spout (A in Figure 16). There is also a small area of glaze on the exterior. There are a further four glazed body sherds of a different jug, which, due to the smooth brown glaze on the exterior (B in Figure 16), likely originate from a brown-glazed Beverley 2 ware jug. One decorated body sherd shows evidence of a vertical strip with notched decoration, which likely originated from another Beverley 2 ware jug (C in Figure 16). A small number of Humber ware sherds are present in the context, including a small, glazed rim with a handle scar (D in Figure 16). This sherd differs in fabric from the other Humber ware sherds and may be a West Cowick product.

32
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley The largest part of the context assemblage consists of Staxton-type wares. Among this material are two notable vessel parts. The first is a small strap handle (A in Figure 17) likely originating from a small jug or a pipkin, with a faint central thumbing mark visible. It is notable that the handle's core is reduced, with only the outermost area oxidised. In addition, the fabric and appearance are very similar to the possible foot identified in Context 302 (cf. Figure 26). The second notable vessel part of the Staxton ware component of the context is the bases. There are a number of them in the context, most of which have an obtuse basal angle. However, three have an inturned basal angle (see example in B in Figure 17 and no. 11 in Figure 57), a common feature of inturned jars, which are a core component of the Staxton ware potters' potting repertoire. It is likely that all three of these inturned bases are from the same jar.
Figure 17 – A) Staxton-type ware strap handle of a possible jug or pipkin; B) Staxton-type inturned jar base. All from Context 205.
In addition to the fabrics outlined above, several unidentified body sherds are very small (ASW 2.59g) and lack any identifiable vessel form characteristics. Overall, there is no indication that the context has any post-medieval sherds, and as such a late 13th–15th century date can be suggested.
5.3.6
Context 206
This context contains 49 sherds (weighing 260.8g) that are mostly body sherds of a small number of wares (Table 14). This context lacked small scraps, and most of the material shows very little abrasion. Most of this context assemblage is dominated by Staxton-type wares, including two small rims with flanged forms. Both likely originate from either jars or bowls. Most of the body sherds are notably little abraded and may originate from a small number of vessels. Some of the sherds have soot traces on the exterior. A small number of glazed Humber ware sherds are present, one originating from a glazed jug. Three small body sherds (ASW 0.56g) are of unidentified fabrics, and no form can be established. Similar to Context 205, there is no indication that the context contains any post-medieval sherds, and, as such, a late 13th–15th-century date can be suggested. Beyond Archaeology

This assemblage stands out for its wide representation of vessels in diverse fabrics and functions. Two possible Beverley ware sherds are present, one of which is a rim, which is, however, in a slightly coarser fabric than usual for Beverley ware vessels. Humber wares were represented by an abraded jug rim, a number of body sherds (most of which possibly are of a later Humber ware type), a ribbed and glazed strap handle (A in Figure 18), and two larger jug bases. The ribbed strap handle matches in fabric and shape the strap handles found at the Humber ware production site at Holme-upon-Spalding Moor (cf. no. 10 in Mayes and Hayfield

Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley (1980, 104). One of these bases had an internal clay deposit from production that was subsequently covered in glaze (B in Figure 18).

This context assemblage also contains a single bunghole (C in Figure 18) in a fabric resembling York Glazed ware (North Yorkshire Whitewares) known to have been produced in the Howardian Hills. This is the only sherd in this fabric in this context and most likely originates from a bunghole jar/jug (i.e. cistern). The Staxton ware components are fairly fragmented and consist of a number of different coloured body sherds. In addition, an unidentified sherd with a seemingly purple glaze was identified. The context is dated by the presence of a single body sherd of post-medieval date (D in Figure 18). It is possible that this sherd is intrusive, as it is otherwise very much medieval in character, with the purple-glazed ware sherd suggesting a late medieval date.

This context assemblage comprises a considerable proportion of Beverley-type ware sherds, which originated from a range of vessels. Among these were at least 17 sherds from a brown glazed Beverley 2 ware vessel (most likely a jug). In addition, the context also contains several other notable glazed and decorated Beverley-type ware body sherds that most likely also belong to Beverley ware 2 vessels. Among these was a decorated jug sherd with iron-rich applied clay pellets (A in Figure 19). Vessels with such vertical decorations are known from Beverley, where they have been identified at Flemingate House (Vince and Steane 2005c).
Figure 19 – A) Applied iron rich pellets in a vertical strip pattern on the exterior of a Beverley 2 ware jug; B) Glazed vertical notched strip decorations found on Beverley 2 ware jugs. All from Context 208.
Similarly, applied vertical strips with notched designs (B in Figure 19) are also common in this assemblage and represent other Beverley ware jugs. Like the other vessels, these are likely Beverley 2 ware. The single Beverley-type ware rim originates from a jug with a rim diameter of 10cm (14% completion). Beyond Archaeology
36
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley The context contains two small body sherds in a gritty fabric. These sherds are unglazed and uncharacteristic, and as such, no vessel form or date can be suggested. Among the Humber-type ware component of the context assemblage are a number of jug rims, one of which has a rim diameter of 10cm (15% completion). Among the rims is also an example of a more squared rim, originating from a large jar with a rim diameter of approximately 22cm (at 6.5% completion). Of the three Humber-type handles (see examples A and B in Figure 20), two sizable handles with ribbed decoration on the top can be identified, which likely originated from either jugs or bunghole jars/jugs (cisterns). The ribbed rod handle (B in Figure 20) may not be from a Humber-type vessel and could be from a Beverley 2 ware jug. The context also contains a smaller handle (C in Figure 20), most likely either from a smaller jug or a pipkin, that was also glazed.
Figure 20 – A) Glazed and ribbed strap handle from a Humber ware jug; B) Bottom part of a glazed and ribbed rod handle of a possible Humber-type jug (although see text); C) Small glazed part of a pipkin handle of a likely Humber-type ware vessel. All from Context 208.
The Staxton-type ware component of the context assemblage contains several rims, most of which are flanged, with fewer squared, simple, and rolled rims. Where a measurement of the rim diameter was possible, the flanged rims originate from vessels of 24cm, 26, and 44cm rim diameters. The former two are well within the expected range of jars, while the latter most likely belongs to a bowl (cf. with measurements provided by Brewster and Hayfield (1992, 54)). All Staxton-type ware bases have an obtuse basal angle, indicating that now-in-turned jars (peat pots) are represented by these bases. All of the unidentified material is likely of medieval date and contains a number of small rim fragments as well as two glazed bases with thumbing on the exterior. It is possible that at least one of these is part of a Beverley-type ware vessel, although this is difficult to establish as the exterior is heavily burned/sooted.

Context 209
This context contains 21 sherds (weighing 116.1g) that are mostly body sherds (Table 17). The possible Humber wares include a single decorated and glazed body sherd from a jug and two bases with sooting on the exterior. The Staxton-type wares include a tiny fragment of a flanged rim as well as an obtuse-angled base. The unidentified material contains a single body sherd with a dark green/brown glaze, which may be part of a Beverley 2 ware jug. Overall, a late 13th–15th-century date seems likely for this assemblage. Table 17 – Overview of the quantification of the pottery in Context 209 by MNV and vessel parts.

5.3.10 Context 212
This context contains four sherds (weighing 7.7g) that are all body sherds. These are of unknown fabric and most likely originate from the same vessel, likely of medieval date. The fabric is light brown, fully oxidised, and shows areas of sooting on some sherds. They are most comparable to some of the coarser sandy fabrics grouped here as Staxton-type wares. Due to the small number of sherds, establishing a date for this context is difficult, especially given the very little diagnostic material. However, based on the four sherds described above, a generic medieval date can be suggested. There is no evidence for any post-medieval material.
5.3.11 Context 213
This context contains ten sherds (weighing 18.9g) that are all body sherds (Table 18). Among these body sherds are a possible Staxton-type fabric and six sherds from unidentified fabrics. Most of these sherds seem to originate from different vessels. However, they do not have any identifiable characteristics indicative of specific vessel forms. Similar to Context 212 described above, establishing a date for this context is difficult because no diagnostic material is present. As such, a generic medieval date can be suggested. There is no evidence for any post-medieval material.

5.3.12 Context 214
This context contains 55 sherds (weighing 302.1g) that are mostly body sherds from a number of different ware groups (Table 19). Among that material are a few Humber-type ware sherds, some of which match the fabric produced at Holme-upon-Spalding-Moor. This context also included a large jug with a strap handle, ribbed decoration, and green glaze. The Staxton wares included a number of flanged and thickened rims, the largest of which had a rim diameter of 32cm (at 6% completion) with a wavy line decoration on the interior and likely originated from a bowl. The unidentified material contained several smaller sherds, all medieval in character. The context also contained 15 small scraps (ASW 1.17g). Based on the presence of Humber ware, the context can be dated to the late 13th–15th centuries. There is no indication of any later medieval or post-medieval material in this context.

The Staxton wares part of the assemblage contains a number of flanged rims that most likely originate either from jars or bowls. Among these was a larger jar rim with thumbing decoration on the top (A in Figure 21, no. 12 in Figure 58), which had a diameter of 21cm (at 7% completion). The fabric of this sherd contains chalk and shell fragments; both components previously identified in material from the North Newbald production site. A second flanged rim has circular stabbing decorations on its interior; a characteristic sometimes observed on vessels produced at Staxton and Potter Brompton (B in Figure 21). The Staxton ware bases include an abraded example with an inturned basal angle, originating from an inturned jar.

The context also contained a singular sherd of a glazed vessel in a North Yorkshire Whiteware fabric. The fabric is very similar to that usually associated with the York Glazed wares. The context also contained a small number of Beverley ware bases and three glazed body sherds likely originating from a jug. Humber wares were represented by a glazed, squared rim and several body sherds, likely from a number of different vessels. There are also a few body sherds Beyond Archaeology

Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley of unidentified wares, but of medieval character. The context assemblage contains a single porcelain body sherd (C in Figure 21) of definite post-medieval/modern date. As this is the only definite post-medieval or later sherd in the context, it may be intrusive. Disregarding this sherd, a date ranging from the 12th–14th/15th century can be suggested for the context.
5.3.14 Context 216 This context contains 871 sherds (weighing 3,572.6g) containing a range of vessel parts from different ware groups (Table 21). Table 21 – Overview of the quantification of the pottery in Context 216 by MNV and vessel parts.

Among the material were a considerable number of sherds tentatively identified as Beverley wares. These include 27 brown-glazed body sherds belonging to a Beverley 2 ware vessel. It is notable that sherds of a similar fabric and glaze have been identified in other contexts (see above). Most of the remaining Beverley ware material consists of small pieces of glazed body sherds that most likely originated from jugs.
Figure 22 – A) Beverley ware jug body sherd with partial raspberry motif; B) Beverley ware jug base with thumbing on the exterior; C) Small Gritty ware base of an unknown vessel form. All from Context 216.
Among these was a small piece of a raspberry decoration (A in Figure 22) that originates from a Beverley war jug, parallels of which have been identified at Lurk Lane in Beverley (Watkins Beyond Archaeology
41
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley 1991, 94). Further evidence for jugs was identified based on the presence of Beverley ware bases that showed evenly spaced exterior thumbing (B in Figure 22). The context also contains four Gritty ware sherds, including two rims of two different vessels and slightly different body colours. Both rims likely came from jars, had a squared rim profile, and suggest vessel diameters of 14cm and 26cm, respectively, as well as body and base sherds. The latter (C in Figure 22) had a buff fabric and matches the Gritty ware material identified in other contexts. The largest component of the context assemblage consists of Humber-type wares, including a number of different handles, including ribbed and stabbed strap handles (A and B in Figure 23).

All from Context 216.
Beyond Archaeology
42
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley The form and dimensions of the latter match bunghole cisterns known to have been produced at Holme-upon-Spalding-Moor. The context also contains a large base of a Humber-type ware vessel (C in Figure 23, no. 13 in Figure 58), with a base diameter of 20cm (25% completion) and most likely originating from either a bowl or a jug. It is notable that the base has traces of green glaze on the interior. Of the large body sherd component of this context, there are several decorated examples, most of which are horizontal incised examples (D in Figure 23). The context contains a considerable number of Staxton-type sherds, including rims and bases. The former are mostly characterised by flanged rim forms, with fewer examples of thickened and simple forms. These most likely originated from jars or bowls but were too fragmented to establish vessel diameters. The Staxton-type bases included an obtuse-angled base that had a base diameter of 22cm (7% completion). The most interesting piece from the Staxton-type component, however, is a small strap handle (A in Figure 24) that may have originated from a jug.
Figure 24 – A) Staxton-type strap handle with raised edges; B) Green glazed body sherd of likely postmedieval date (cf. C in Figure 14); C) Jug rim with a spout in an unidentified fabric. All from Context 216.
The unidentified material consists mostly of small unglazed and glazed body sherds, among which a single sherd of a likely post-medieval vessel was identified. This sherd (B in Figure 24) matches the salt-glazed wares identified in Context 202 and may belong to the same vessel. In addition, among a small number of small rims, including a brown-glazed thickened rim and a rim with a spout (C in Figure 24), which may have originated from late medieval/postmedieval jugs. The context assemblage also included a considerable number of scraps (ASW 1.27g), which consisted mostly of small pieces of unglazed body sherds. If the post-medieval sherd is disregarded as intrusive, the remaining assemblage suggests a date in the 15th century, with a considerable amount of earlier 13th- and 14th-century material.
5.3.15 Context 219
This context contains four sherds (weighing 16.3g) that are all body sherds (Table 22). These include two green-glazed sherds of a Beverley-type ware jug, a purple-glazed body jug sherd, and a small piece of an unidentified but likely medieval ware.

The material from Trench 3 contains 720 sherds weighing just over 4kg, the majority of which originates from Context 302 and dates broadly to the medieval period. The apparent lack of post-medieval and modern material in Context 303 is notable, though some of the medieval material may date to the later medieval period (see below).

Among the medieval material was a small assemblage of Beverley ware body sherds and several Staxtontype ware sherds. Among the latter was a characteristic fully oxidised, flanged rim of jar or bowl. In addition, a possible Humber-type ware strap handle was identified. The assemblage also contained four small sherds with purple glaze, which have tentatively been identified as Purple Glazed-type wares. In addition two Cistercian ware sherds are present in the context, likely originating from the same vessels. Among the unidentified material were a few highly fired and brown-glazed sherds, suggesting they were either of later medieval or post-medieval date.

This context also contained two pieces of roof tile (weighing 120.6g), which match the fabric and thickness (15mm) of the tiles found in Context 302 (see below). None of these pieces provided evidence of nibs or decorations, although there are marks indicating that moulds were used to produce these tiles (see section 6 below). The assemblage contains predominantly medieval material, although a 19th-century stoneware sherd (A in Figure 25) suggests an early modern (19th-century onwards) date.

A small assemblage of Beverley ware body sherds was identified, originating from several vessels. There is also a possible Beverley-type ware strap handle, although the fabric does not match the material known from the Grovehill area. As this handle is heavily abraded, with only minimal traces of glaze left, it is possible that it is not a Beverley ware product. One single Gritty ware body sherd was identified. The origin of this piece is unclear, but it exhibits the characteristic pimply surface and a buff surface colour (B in Figure 25). However, only a single sherd could be identified in this context (and trench), and due to its small size (weighing only 0.92g), little can be established about the vessel form it came from. Staxton-type wares make up the largest part of the Context 302 assemblage and were also the largest proportion of rims and bases. Most of the rims are flanged and likely originated from jars or bowls. However, none of the rims is large enough to establish vessel forms or diameters with certainty. Many of the rims show close similarities (in both form and fabric) to the material found at the production sites at Staxton and Potter Brompton (Brewster and Hayfield 1992), and it is thus possible that some of that material originated there. All 13 Staxton-type ware bases have an obtuse basal angle and exhibit variability in base and wall thicknesses, likely indicating that they originated from a number of vessels. In the Staxton-type ware part of this assemblage, a single fragment of a possible foot was identified (Figure 26), measuring approximately 2.5cm at its base and weighing 19.59g. This is an unusual vessel part for Staxton wares, especially as no footed vessels are known from past excavations at the production sites at Staxton and Potter Brompton (Brewster and Hayfield 1992; Vince and Young 2003), North Newbald (Didsbury and Wastling 2017), or Hedon (Hayfield 1984a). As highlighted in section 4.6, it is possible that some of what has been Beyond Archaeology
46
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley grouped as Staxton wares also contains Coarse Sandy wares. However, no footed vessels in that fabric are known either. It is possible that the foot originates from a tripod pipkin (such forms are known from the production sites at West Cowick (Hayfield 1985, nos. 13–15 in Figure 228) or Doncaster (Buckland et al. 1979, 36)).
Figure 26 – Overview of the Staxton-type ware foot found in Context 302. A and B show the part from the side, while C shows it from the bottom and D from the top. The reduced interior of the foot with just a small area of oxidisation on the exterior is visible in D.
The second largest component of the context assemblage was Humber wares. Much of this material showed evidence of glaze, and it is likely that most of it originated from several jugs and other glazed vessel forms. Besides two very fragmented pieces of handles, two fragments of bungholes were identified (A in Figure 27). These likely originate from Bunghole cisterns, and as they do not join and have different thicknesses, they represent at least two vessels. The rims are highly fragmented, but where identifiable, they had a rounded rim type, although individual examples with thickened and flanged rims were present. These mostly originate from jugs, although a possible jar rim was also identified. The Humber ware bases are unglazed and have an obtuse-angled basal angle. The high fragmentation precludes any assessment of the base diameter or completion, but two bases had thumbing decoration on the exterior basal angle. One of these pieces has a group of (at
Beyond Archaeology
47
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley least) three thumbing marks, which is at times found on Humber ware jugs (e.g. as previously found at Chapel Garth, Bolton (Coppack 1978)). Most of the Humber ware body sherds are unglazed, but where glaze is present it is the characteristic green glaze. Only one example of decoration was identified on any of the glazed body parts, which may be from a Humber-type ware jug. This sherd has a vertical incised line and a perpendicular applied clay strip (B in Figure 27). This decoration can be paralleled with material found at Wharram Percy (Le Patourel 1979, 92), East Haddlesey (Le Patourel 1973, 102) and on a smooth oxidised Humber ware vessel from Sandal Castle (Moorhouse 1981, 137). In addition, four sherds of Purple Glazed ware were identified. While three of these are small and uncharacteristic in form, one characteristic glazed and decorated rim is present (C in Figure 27). This sherd has purple glaze on both the exterior and the interior, a thumbed rim, and an incised wavy-line decoration (no. 14 in Figure 58). The fabric matches the Purple Glazed wares produced at West Cowick and is equally highly fired (Perry et al. 2024).

There are 14 Cistercian ware body sherds, all of which likely originate from the same vessel. The fabric is highly fired and matches some of the Cistercian ware sherds found in Context Beyond Archaeology
48
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley 301. It is possible that these originate from the same vessel. Among the unidentified material, a number of glazed wares were identified, indicating the presence of brown and green glazes. Many of these pieces are very small, making a definite identification difficult. One large base sherd (thickness 13mm) of a glazed bowl was identified. Although it could not be identified to which ware it belongs, the base exhibits evidence of trimming at the exterior basal angle and a yellow-green glaze on the interior. This context also contained 19 ceramic roof tiles (weighing 802.7g), representing a variety of different pieces. However, due to the high fragmentation of these pieces, it is not possible to establish how many tiles were represented. One fragment shows nibs on these tiles (Figure 28), which has been folded over. These tiles will be discussed in more detail in section 6.

5.4.3
Context 303
This context contained 24 sherds (weighing 246.2g) mainly limited to body sherds (Table 26). Among the identified sherds were three Humber-type sherds, including a rim (simple rim form, diameter 13cm, rim 10.5% completed) with glaze on the exterior and a glazed strap handle of a jug. In addition, small quantities of Beverley ware and Staxton-type ware body sherds are present in the context, which are, however, undiagnostic, and it is unclear which vessel forms they originate from. Among the unidentified material was a possible jug base, with thumbing and red glaze visible on the exterior (obtuse base angle, diameter 24cm, 12% complete), which may be of late medieval date. One notable piece was a small fragment of a possible applied strip decoration with orange-green glaze (Figure 29). It is unclear what vessel form this originates, and no

Overall, the assemblage had no distinct post-medieval component, and, due to the presence of Humber wares and some likely later medieval unidentified wares, a spot date between the late 13th and 15th centuries is suggested.

A singular Humber ware base with an obtuse basal angle was identified and may have originated from a jug, but the sherd was too small to establish this for certain. The largest identified component of the context belongs to the Staxton-type wares. The context includes eight rims, five of which have a flanged rim profile, two have a thickened rim profile, and one has an unidentifiable rim profile. One of the thickened rims has a fabric similar to that of the wares produced at North Newbald and may have originated there. Unfortunately, the rims are too fragmented to determine their diameters, but based on the fabric and characteristics, several vessels are represented here. The single Staxton-type ware base has a dark brown body colour and an obtuse-angled base and likely originates from a rounded jar. Among the unidentified material are a few small body sherds of several fabrics as well as a single fragment of a rod handle (B in Figure 30). This latter handle is too small to have been part of a jug and is more likely to have originated from a pipkin or a similar form that required a smaller handle.

5.5.2
Context 402
This context contains 137 sherds (weighing 879.1g) that are mostly body sherds (Table 29) and a sizable quantity of unidentifiable scraps (58 sherds, ASW of 1.23g). Most of the pottery is medieval in character, and the comparatively low number of Staxton-type wares is notable. The context contains three Beverley-type ware body sherds with a smooth green glaze on the exterior (A in Figure 31). These sherds likely belong to the same jug, but no traces of decoration were identified on any of them, and it is thus unclear to which Beverley ware production phase this vessel belongs. The Gritty ware sherds are unglazed and uncharacteristic, and it is unclear which vessel they are from, although a jar seems to be most likely. The fabric is identical to the Gritty ware sherd from Context 401 (see above and A in Figure 30), and it is possible that these belong to the same vessel.

Humber wares make up the largest proportion of the identified material in this context and contain, besides a number of unglazed body sherds, a large fragment of a handle. This strap handle has ribbing decoration on one side and has a green glaze (B in Figure 31). It is the lower part of the handle that would have been attached to the vessel's body and likely belongs to a large jug or a bunghole jar/jug. Comparable handles have been found at Wharram Percy (2012, 92) and at Scale Lane in Hull (Armstrong 1980, 54). The single Humber ware base identified in this context was too small to establish a form but had an obtuse basal angle.

Only three sherds of Staxton-type material could be identified. However, one sherd shows similarities to the fabric produced at the nearby North Newbald site. But all of these sherds were small (ASW 4.07g), and no inference about their original vessel forms can be made.
Beyond Archaeology
53
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley Among the unidentified material are a number of uncharacteristic, unglazed body sherds of variable fabrics that could not be identified to a ware. Two bases of two different vessels are also among the characteristic material, one of which likely originates from two different vessels (one of which was likely a bowl). These two bases are in the same fine fabric, and are unlike most medieval material, and may thus be post-medieval in date. The unidentified material also included a few post-medieval sherds, including a possible rim of a pancheon and brownglazed body sherds on a fine, cream-coloured fabric. Two body sherds from the unidentified material stand out for their coarse, crumbly fabric (Figure 32). The fabric is unlike that usually found in the assemblage at the site, and it is possible that they date to the pre-Conquest period or are prehistoric.

5.5.3
Context 404
This context contains three sherds (weighing 4.7g) that are all body sherds (Table 30) of a likely medieval date. Among these body sherds are a possible Humber ware fabric and two sherds from unidentified fabrics. All sherds seem to originate from different vessels; however, they do not have any characteristics indicative of any specific vessel form. There is no indication that any of these sherds date to the post-medieval period, and, as such, a possible medieval date is likely for this context.

Context 501
This context contains 442 sherds (weighing 1,940.9g) that are mostly body sherds (Table 34) and include a small quantity of unidentifiable scraps (47 sherds, ASW of 0.76g). Although the assemblage contains a number of different medieval fabrics, the presence of a few postmedieval and modern sherds suggests a spot date in the 20th century. The Beverley ware component of the context assemblage contains two rims with a simple rim profile and showing evidence of glaze on the exterior. These vessels have diameters of 12cm and 14cm and likely originate from two different jugs. The simple rim forms with slightly inturned rim profiles are characteristic of Beverley 2 wares, and comparable rims have previously been identified at Lurk Lane in Beverley (Watkins 1991, 94) and Scale Lane in Hull (Armstrong 1980, 57). The presence of Beverley ware jugs is further supported by the presence of the glazed, undecorated jug strap handle (A in Figure 35). Three of the glazed body sherds have evidence for vertical clay strip decoration (see some examples in B in Figure 35), which likely belong to the same vessel.

There is no direct evidence that any of the Beverley ware material belongs to any of the vessels of Beverley’s first production phase (see section 4.1 above) and based on the rims and the decorated body sherds, it is likely that most of the Beverley ware material in this context belongs to the second phase.

The Humber ware material from this context is limited to a small number of rims and bases, and a larger number of body sherds. However, both the rims and bases are highly fragmented, and little can be established about the vessel forms to which they belonged. One of the larger body sherds (A in Figure 36) shows the characteristic horizontal rilling lines found on some of the taller glazed Humber ware jugs (as observed at West Cowick (Hayfield 1985, Fig. 226)). It

A small number of Gritty ware sherds were identified in this context assemblage, including a small possible vessel base (weighing 2.9g). However, due to its abraded state and small size, it is difficult to determine which vessel form it originated from, although an obtuse basal angle and possible sooting on the exterior could be identified. The largest component of this context consists of Staxton-type wares. This includes 13 rims, the majority of which were flanged, with only two having a triangular rim profile, one a simple, and one a squared rim profile. The latter was the most substantial one in this context and belongs to a vessel with a rim diameter of 20cm (7% completeness, and 13mm rim thickness). The rim shape has parallels to jars produced at Staxton and Potter Brompton (Brewster and Hayfield 1992) and North Newbald (Didsbury and Wastling 2017). However, the fabric of the rims does not contain many of the inclusions usually found on the latter’s vessels and as such an origin at Staxton and Potter Brompton seems more likely. Among the body sherds, a number of possible North Newbald sherds could be identified, which show characteristic chalk and shell inclusions in the fabric. Of the 10 Staxton-type ware bases, one had a possible North Newbald fabric, and this vessel had a base diameter of 32cm (6% completion), likely from either a jar or a bowl. The unidentified material includes 12 sherds of a single vessel that has a thick brown glaze on the exterior and horizontal decorations, which may be part of a Beverley 2 ware jug (B in Figure 36). Besides a number of other unidentified post-medieval wares, the assemblage also contains four sherds likely originating from a single 18th-century Nottingham Stoneware vessel (A in Figure 37). The most recent material from the assemblage contains eight sherds of modern Whitewares (weighing 46.9g, ASW 5.9g). While the original vessel form is difficult to establish from the small fragments, one base and several body sherds with similar vertical rilling marks likely come from a teacup. The base also has a stamp reading TUSCAN (B in
Beyond Archaeology

Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley Figure 37), which identifies the vessel as having been produced at the Tuscan Works in Longton (Stoke-upon-Trent) at some point in the 1920s (Birks 2026).

6 Interpretation The investigated ceramic assemblage can now be considered in both its local and wider regional context, taking into account chronological implications, the presence of different vessel forms, their use, and their likely origins. Together, these strands of investigation will help situate the assemblage within the wider socio-economic context. First, the condition of the assemblage and any influences on the interpretation will be considered.
6.1
Condition
The detailed analysis has confirmed the observation from the initial assessment that a considerable part of the assemblage consists of small, heavily abraded pieces that are of little interpretative value. It is likely that two factors contributed towards the high presence of these fragments: (1) the way the site was excavated; (2) post-medieval/modern disturbance. First, it seems likely that, as the site was entirely excavated by hand, smaller sherds were more readily identified during the trowelling of the layers, thus increasing their number across all contexts. Secondly, the high fragmentation of the material suggests that some medieval deposits were disturbed at some point (likely by ploughing), thereby spreading this material across the site. Such a process would explain the presence of sherds from singular vessels turning up in different contexts observed above. Further consideration of the ceramic evidence of the contexts presented above in relation to their stratigraphic relationships may allow this to be examined in more detail. The presence of these scraps was identified in about half of all contexts (Table 36), and their relative frequency compared with the total number of sherds suggests that a number of contexts were potentially disturbed by later activity.

As such, rather than contextualising individual contexts, the following wider interpretation of the medieval and later pottery will treat the material as a single assemblage.
6.2
Chronology
There was no direct evidence of prehistoric, Roman, or early medieval material in the assemblage under investigation. The only potential material predating the Norman Conquest was identified in Context 402 (see sherds in Figure 32). However, this identification is not certain and is insufficient to constitute evidence for pre-Conquest activity at the site. The earliest material from the site is most likely the limited evidence for Beverley 1 wares. However, evidence for these wares was only tentatively identified in Contexts 105 and 201. It is notable that characteristic rims and decorations of Beverley 1 ware vessels (known from Beverley (Didsbury and Holbrey 2009)) were absent. A number of York Glazed ware sherds were identified in Trenches 1 and 2, which most likely originate from jugs dated to the mid/late 12th to the mid/late 13th century (Mainman and Jenner 2013, 1203). Although the dating of Staxton-type vessels is difficult (especially since they are difficult to distinguish from the later Coarse Sandy wares), it seems possible that these wares were present as the major utilitarian ware at the site during the 12th/13th–14th/15th century. It is notable that these wares were apparently used alongside the more highly decorated Beverley 2 wares, as evidenced by finds in multiple contexts in Trench 2 and in Context 106 in Trench 1. While it is likely that many of these sherds belong to the same vessels, it indicates a sustained presence of Beverley wares in High Hunsley. These Beverley 2 ware vessels appear to be primarily glazed jug forms. The ceramic evidence indicates that during the 14th and 15th centuries, Humber wares were increasingly used at the site (based on the overall presence of these wares), possibly replacing the Beverley wares as the major jug form. However, without stratified contexts, this is difficult to investigate further. The presence of bunghole jars/jugs (cisterns) in Contexts 101, 102, 201, 207, and 302 confirms activity at the site from the 14th century onwards, as such vessels are not usually produced or used in Yorkshire before that century. Direct evidence for 15th-century vessels is more difficult to establish, but the presence of a small number of Purple Glaze wares and Cistercian ware vessels indicates such activity. However, it is highly likely that a part of the Humber ware material dates to this and the following centuries, but there is little dateable and characteristic
Beyond Archaeology
63
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley material to confirm this. Among the unidentified material were a number of seemingly late medieval fabrics and forms, indicating some activity into the late medieval and post-medieval periods. However, it is notable that definite material dating to the 16th and later centuries is represented by only a small number of sherds. Regional and international imports, such as English Delft wares, Staffordshire-type slipwares, and German stonewares, were almost entirely absent, suggesting a lack of activity in this area of the settlement. A small number of 19th and 20th-century materials are most likely related to later agricultural activity.
6.3
Vessel forms
Due to the high fragmentation rate of the sherds in the assemblage, establishing the vessel forms of many sherds was not always readily possible. However, as mentioned above, it seems likely that different wares were used for different functions (and thus vessel forms). While the two likely Staxton-type jug handles in Contexts 205 and 216 and the two possible jug rims in Contexts 101 and 216 indicate that some of the Staxton-type wares were jugs, the remaining evidence suggests that jars and bowls in this ware were more common at High Hunsley. As such, Staxton-type wares were most likely the main utilitarian coarseware vessels at the site (jars, storage jars, cooking pots, bowls etc.). Glazed (table-)wares such as jugs, on the other hand, were more often Beverley and Humber wares. This pattern, where utilitarian coarsewares and glazed (table-)wares were supplied from different production sites, is not uncommon in medieval Yorkshire and has been observed at both Wharram Percy (Slowikowski et al. 2015) and Wawne (Hayfield 1984b). One of the more unexpected forms in the assemblage is the presence of Staxton-type ware inturned jars. As highlighted above, these vessels have an acute basal angle, a squat overall form, as well as large base diameters. These vessels are characteristic of the pottery production sites of Staxton and Potter Brompton in the Vale of Pickering (Brewster and Hayfield 1992), but are also known from the suggested Staxton-type production sites in Hedon (Hayfield 1984a), and North Newbald (Signer in prep). Recent research on pottery production waste from Staxton has suggested that although these vessels were likely formed through a slightly different forming method than other jars, the same raw materials were used in their production (Signer et al. 2026). The use of these vessels is still debated, but it has previously been suggested that due to their squat form and wide base, they were used on peat fires (Brewster and Hayfield 1992, 54). This association with peat means that they have been termed ‘peat pots ‘in the past, although there is limited definitive evidence for such a use. A recent investigation of the distribution of such Staxton-type ware inturned jars (Signer 2025) has suggested that these vessels were more often used on the Yorkshire Wolds, where firewood would have been lass available and peat may have been used more often for domestic fires. The identification of inturned jars at High Hunsley is thus of particular interest as despite their known production at both North Newbald and Hedon, they have not previously been identified in large quantities in this part of the Yorkshire Wolds (Figure 38). The closest finds have been in Beverley, where Staxton-type ware inturned jars have been identified at Lurk Beyond Archaeology

Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley Lane (Watkins 1991) and at Flemingate (Vince and Steane 2005c), and at Melton, where a single inturned jar base was identified (Vince et al. 2007).

As such, the minimum of 12 inturned jar bases identified in the High Hunsley assemblage suggest a significant presence and use of such vessels on rural medieval sites in the southern part of the Yorkshire Wolds. Whether this also indicates that peat was frequently used for domestic fires is open to debate. As discussed below, the production site of these vessels has yet to be established (e.g. through thin section petrographic analysis), but some of the bases show macroscopic similarities to vessels produced in Staxton and as such it is possible that some of the inturned jars may have been produced there.

Origins
As indicated above, a majority of the wares used at High Hunsley were likely produced at nearby production sites (see Figure 39 for overview of the sites mentioned in this section). Although Beverley-type wares are known to have been produced at Little Kelk (a previously suggested Humber ware production site, see Hayfield (1992, 40)), there is no indication that the vessel found at High Hunsley did not originate from Beverley. Investigation of the Staxton-

Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley type wares has shown that a number of sherds likely originate from the nearby production site at North Newbald. However, a majority of the wares have a clearly different origin, with some likely having been produced at Staxton or Potter Brompton in the Vale of Pickering. It is known that there must be other, as-of-yet undiscovered Staxton-type production sites (especially in this area of East Yorkshire), and it is therefore possible that the High Hunsley Staxton-type ware material originates from such a site. This may also explain the presence of the footed vessel, indicated by the foot found in Context 302 (Figure 26), which has not yet been found in the repertoires of any of the known Staxton-type production sites (such as Staxton and Potter Brompton (Brewster and Hayfield 1992), North Newbald (Didsbury and Wastling 2017), and Hedon (Hayfield 1984a)).

A large proportion of the Humber wares likely originated from the production site at Holmeupon-Spalding Moor (Mayes and Hayfield 1980), which seemed to have been the origin for many of the Humber wares found in this area of Yorkshire and are found as far east as Wawne (Hayfield 1984b, 58). A small number of products from West Cowick were identified, but they were not sufficient to suggest that it was a major supplier of Humber wares to High Hunsley. However, it is almost certain that at least some of the Purple Glazed wares (such as the rim
Beyond Archaeology
66
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley from Context 302, see C in Figure 27) originated from that production site. It has previously been noted that Humber ware wasters were identified in North Newbald (Didsbury and Wastling 2017, 267). While that material has not yet been described or published, it cannot be totally excluded as a potential source for some of the Humber-type wares found at High Hunsley. For many of the other wares, such as the Gritty wares, Cistercian wares, and many of the unidentified wares, no origin can be proposed. However, the presence of North Yorkshire Whitewares suggests that some vessels travelled some distance before they arrived in High Hunsley. The presence of both the York Glazed ware sherds (dating to the mid/late 12th to the mid/late 13th century) and the North Yorkshire Whiteware bunghole from Context 207 (see C in Figure 18), which must date to the 14th century onwards, are especially notable, as they indicate connections to the other areas of Yorkshire. However, with the settlement being located near one of the major routes across the Yorkshire Wolds to Beverley, the presence of such vessels is perhaps to be expected.
6.5
Contextualising the assemblage
Overall, the High Hunsley assemblage is of considerable size and highly fragmented, which can be partly explained by the excavation method and by potential agricultural activity at some point in the past. Despite potential issues caused by a widespread lack of stratified context assemblages, the assemblage provides an insight into the range of material used on a medieval settlement site on the Yorkshire Wolds. It is notable that on the whole, the assemblage represents the range of vessel parts and forms usually found on rural medieval settlement sites. As such, the assemblage is comparable to material excavated at Wawne (Hayfield 1984b), and multiple similarities are evident in the form and origins of vessels found at both sites. However, as indicated above, the Wawne material suggests continued occupation into the post-medieval period, which is not evident in the examined High Hunsley material. One unexpected aspect of the assemblage concerns the presence of medieval tiles in Contexts 102, 201, 202, 208, 216, and 301. As indicated by the large pieces found in Context 302 (see Figure 28), these pieces were nib tiles where the nib was formed by folding over part of the tile. Nib tiles are usually considered to have come into use during the second half of the 12th century before being largely replaced by peg tiles in the 13th century (McComish 2015, 32). However, the folding of the nib is characteristic of tile making from the 13th century onwards and may have been the main method from the 14th century onwards (Lewis 1987, 8). However, folded nib tiles are relatively rare in Yorkshire, and these are therefore of particular interest. In the context of High Hunsley, they most likely suggest that at some point after the 13th century (most likely after the 14th century) a building with tiles stood somewhere in the vicinity, which subsequently fell out of use. As such, the presence of multiple fragments in

Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley context may again suggest that many contexts were disturbed at some point. A dedicated catalogue of the tile fragments is available in Appendix 9.3.
6.5.1
Nearby sites
The most recent excavations near the High Hunsley sites were undertaken as part of the Ganstead to Asselby Natural Gas Pipeline in 2006. As part of the building work associated with this pipeline, several assemblages of medieval ceramics were encountered near the High Hunsley DMV (see sites starting with GAPL in Figure 40). However, all of this material was not associated with any features and as such was only briefly summarised by plot by Vince and Steane (2005b). Although this provides the closest comparison to the High Hunsley assemblage, due to the unstratified nature of the material, little contextual comparison can be made.
Figure 40 – Overview of known medieval ceramic assemblages near the High Hunsley site. Location of the plots excavated as part of the Ganstead to Asselby Natural Gas Pipeline in 2006 are only approximate. Dashed area marks excavations in North Newbald. Map data from OpenStreetMap.
Across these pipeline plots, most of the medieval pottery encountered consisted of Beverley and Humber wares, with only occasional sherds of other origins. This material included evidence for a Brandsby-type ware sherd (North Yorkshire Whiteware) in GAPL108, a purple glaze Humber-type ware handle in GAPL97, a Beverley ware jug sherd with thumbed strip decoration in GAPL 93, and a Staxton-type ware sherd in GAPL80 Plot. It is notable, that some Beyond Archaeology
68
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley of these occasional sherds have also been encountered at High Hunsley (such as the North Yorkshire Whiteware material discussed above and the thumbed strip decorated Beverley wares). Similarly, only limited Staxton-type ware material was uncovered during the pipeline excavation. However, due to the lack of stratified material from those excavations, it is difficult to establish whether this is a definite difference or just due to the means of recovery. Larger assemblages of medieval pottery are known from North Newbald (see dashed area in Figure 40), where besides the pottery production material encountered at Westgate (Didsbury and Wastling 2017), assemblages have been retrieved at The Green (Vince and Steane 2005a; Stephens 2012) and elsewhere in the village (Vince 2004a; 2005). While at some of these sites definite evidence for Anglian material was uncovered (Vince 2004a; Stephens 2012), which is absent from the High Hunsley material, the remainder consisted of Staxton-type wares (much of which likely originated from the local production site at Westgate), Beverley wares, Humber wares, and the occasional Gritty ware sherd. This medieval material uncovered in North Newbald is thus very comparable to what was uncovered at High Hunsley, perhaps indicating access to similar ceramic supply networks.

7 Significance, potential and recommendations The excavations at the DMV of High Hunsley during the 2022 and 2023 seasons have uncovered a large quantity of ceramic material. The above examination has shown that a large component of this is medieval in date, with a number of known regional wares being regularly used at the site. While the presence of large quantities of highly fragmented and abraded sherds, cross-context joins, and small amounts of post-medieval wares in many of the contexts indicates that much of the medieval material was disturbed, the assemblage does provide insight into the range of vessels used in medieval settlements in this part of the Yorkshire Wolds. In this respect, the assemblage, in combination with other material culture recovered from the site, has the potential to provide insight into the wider socio-economic context of the site.
Beyond Archaeology
70
Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley There is likely potential to better understand the late medieval/post-medieval activity of the site by examining the proportion of the assemblage in more detail with a post-medieval pottery specialist. In addition, the large quantity of Staxton-type wares uncovered from the site may provide important material for better establishing the distribution of the different production sites and the transition to Coarse Sandy wares. However, the lack of clearly stratified contexts would make such an undertaking more difficult. Similarly, some of the Beverley and Humber ware material may provide better insight into the distribution of these wares relative to their production sites. It is recommended that most of the assemblage is retained, with the smaller abraded sherds (i.e., the scraps) being discarded, as these are of little interpretative value. Some of the most characteristic sherds have been illustrated (see Appendix 9.4); further sherds could be drawn as well (e.g. the different handles).

Catalogue of tiles
Tile fragments could be identified in several different contexts. Where possible, fragments have been grouped based on their fabrics and whether they could be joined with any of the other fragments. Measurements and additional features have been described where suitable.
9.3.1
Context 102
Two tile fragments (Figure 41) are present in Context 102 (weighing 26.7g), both of which have a similar fabric with a grey-to-orange surface colour and characteristics that otherwise match the grey-brown coarse fabric found in other contexts (see below). Both fragments have an average thickness of 14.5mm to 15.0mm. No joins to other tile fragments could be identified.
Figure 41 – The two tile fragments from Context 102.
9.3.2
Context 201
This context contains 13 tile fragments (weighing 359.61g) which could be grouped based on their fabric into three groups. The first of these groups contains seven sherds in a grey-brown coloured coarse fabric, with frequent voids and occasional chalk inclusions. None of the pieces has any characteristic features (A in Figure 42), and their thickness ranges from 14.5mm to 17mm. The second group contains two sherds in an oxidised, soft orange fabric, with occasional voids. None of the pieces has any characteristic features, although one of the pieces may have originated from the corner of a tile (B in Figure 42). The thickness of the two fragments ranges from 13.5mm to 17mm. The third group contains four sherds with orange-brown fabrics, and, similar to the other material in this context, none have any characteristic features, nor did they join any of the other fragments (C in Figure 42). The thicknesses of the fragments range from 13mm to 17mm.

Three tile fragments are present in Context 202, two of which are in the same grey-brown fabric and perhaps belong to the same tile. The first is a piece of a flat tile, with no visible perforations, nibs or decorations, containing two original edges of the tile (Figure 43). The fabric is grey-brown in colour, with frequent voids present. One side of the tile is much

9.3.4
Context 208
Two tile fragments are present in Context 208 that share a similar fabric. The first is a piece of a flat tile, with an original edge of the tile (Figure 46). The fabric is grey-brown in colour, with frequent voids present. In addition, one side of the tile is smooth and drag marks relating to the forming process are visible (A in Figure 46). The thickness of the tile varies between 16.0mm and 20.0mm, and the fragment weighs 98.62g.

Context 216
Two fragments are present in Context 216, the first of which is in a coarse fabric (Figure 48).

Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley Its surface is fairly uneven with potential finger impressions visible. The thickness of the tile varies between 15.5mm and 17.5mm, and the fragment weighs 135.84g. The fabric is grey in colour, quite coarse, with plenty of voids and occasional chalk flecks. In the break, a reduced core is visible. The second fabric is unusually round, and it is possible that it was shaped into a disc at some point (Figure 49). The surface is uneven with potential finger impressions visible. The thickness of the tile varies between 14.0mm and 14.5mm. The fragment weighs 47.91g. The fabric is reddish in colour, slightly smoother on one side than some of the other pieces, but frequent voids are present on the reverse. The fabric also contains occasional chalk flecks. The tile seems to be fully oxidised.

9.3.6
Context 301
This context contains two tile fragments that do not join and, based on their different characteristics (as seen in the break), most likely belong to two different tiles. The first is a piece of a flat tile, with no visible perforations, nibs or decorations (Figure 50). One of the edges seems to be the original edge of the tile. The surface is fairly uneven with potential finger impressions and drag marks (likely related to the tile preparation process) visible. The thickness of the tile varies between 15.0mm and 16.0mm. The tile weighs 85.5g. The fabric is grey in colour, quite coarse with frequent voids and occasional chalk flecks (although less so than in other fragments).

The second is a piece of a flat tile, with no visible perforations, nibs or decorations (Figure 51). One of the edges seems to be the original edge of the tile. The surface is fairly uneven, with burnt-out organic fragments visible. The thickness of the tile varies between 15.0mm and 15.5mm. The tile weighs 33.56g. The fabric is grey in colour, quite coarse with frequent voids and rare chalk flecks. In the break, a reduced core is visible.

9.3.7
Context 302
In Context 302, 19 pieces of tile are present weighing a total of 802.71g. Closer examination of these fragments identified two main fabrics, the first of which is grey in colour, quite coarse with frequent voids and rare chalk flecks. This fabric also has a reduced core and is represented by 18 pieces. Within this first fabric group, 10 pieces join in a way that three sides of the original tile can be identified (Figure 52).
Figure 52 – Overview the partially reconstructed bottom part of the possible nib tile from Context 302.
This tile is approx. 18cm wide and its thickness varies between 14mm and 16mm. This group of sherds may be the bottom half of the nib tile group described below. As such, it seems possible that all the 18 pieces in the grey fabric could represent an almost complete part of a

Pottery Assessment: High Hunsley medieval nib tile. As highlighted in section 6.5, the fact that this nib tile was formed by bending over a part of the tile to form the nib suggests that this tile dates from the 13th century onwards (McComish 2015, 32). It is notable that both the measured width and thickness lie within the recorded nib tiles from York. There, nib tiles range in width between 164–212mm and between 13–17mm in thickness (McComish 2015, 32). This second group of three joining tile pieces represent the top part of a tile and includes a pulled nib (Figure 53). Notably, one of the fragments identified in Context 301 joins this part of the tile (see pieces highlighted with white arrow in Figure 53), indicating a cross-contextual join. As highlighted above, this may represent the upper part of the same tile described above.
Figure 53 – Overview of the back of a nib tile with a nib from Context 302. The fragment marked with a white arrow is from Context 301.
In addition to the two groups of joining sherds, this context also contains two more groups of tile fragments. The first consists of five fragments with fabrics, textures, and thicknesses similar to the joining fragments (Figure 54) and it is thus likely that these belong to the same tiles.
