The Pottery from Medieval Novgorod and its Region

by Clive Orton

Long-term excavations in Novgorod and other towns in its region have yielded vast amounts of medieval pottery, mostly locally-made wares of the 10th to 15th centuries, but including imports from the Baltic area, north-west Europe, south Russia, the Black Sea area and the Islamic East. There has been a revival of interest in recent years, and a wide range of questions is being asked. Some long-term projects are coming to fruition, and comparative studies are being made on a regional basis. This book seeks to bring together these studies in a way that will reinforce and inform each other. Comparing and contrasting western and Russian approaches to ceramic studies, this book demonstrates the potential of medieval pottery studies beyond its perceived value as dating evidence, and provides a sound foundation for a further generation of studies. 245p (UCL/Oxbow Books 2006)
