Ceramics and Spatial Analysis at the Early Royal Manor of Leighton, Alias La Grava: A Reassessment of Possible Middle Saxon Pottery and its Affect on Site Dating

This paper supplements the main site publication in CBA Research Report 167 (Baker 2013), drawing upon its Digital Supplement which contains Anna Slowikowski’s [2013] full report. It discusses two related issues for the early history of the site: the dating of middle Saxon ceramic fabrics and the mathematical basis for site planning, using material that either could not be included in the main report or postdates it. Relevant references from the main report not re-published here are indicated in square brackets, e.g. [Baker 2013, fig.1.01].
