The ceramic history of West Pans Part 2

Abstract

• The West Pans ceramic material, listed described and photographed on the enclosed disk has been assigned to the National Museums of Scotland and was catalogued using accession numbers (MES1.1 to 1132). The majority of the ceramic material was recovered during a small rescue excavation funded by Historic Scotland and the shards have been divided by fabric type, form and decoration, into 15 folders and 114 files. The West Pans ceramic assemblage is of some significance and derives from a number of potteries, which were in production, from the mid 18th to second quarter of 19th centuries. The catalogue also incorporates some earlier and later ceramic material from the site
