A Late 15th Century Household Pottery Group From Aveiro (Portugal)

A small excavation in Homem de Christo Filho Street in Aveiro, an important medieval Atlantic maritime port, led to the discovery of a typical late 15th-century two compartment house. It was located in the city’s centre where the merchants’ houses were located. Hundreds of pottery vessels were recovered giving the insight to what type of pottery was being used on daily activities in late medieval times, from locally produced pottery to Spanish imports.
