Abstract: Medieval Ceramics: Journal of the Medieval Ceramics Research Group, 15, 29-36<br />This paper examines the evidence for the use and probable re-introduction of pottery in the southern Welsh borderland following the Norman conquest, based on discoveries in Monnow Street, Monmouth and material from previous excavations in the area. Burgages in Monnow Street contain a remarkably well-preserved series of medieval house floors dating from shortly after the Conquest, which have provided a 'key' to the pottery sequences in the town, especially for the period c.AD 1100 to 1400. A summary of regional assemblages containing D2 Cotswold ware is also presented.
