Excavations were undertaken by Allen Archaeology Ltd in 2013 near the course of Ermine Street c. 0.8 km north of the Bailgate in the Newport suburb of Roman Lincoln, close to known Roman buildings on the site of Bishop Grosseteste University. The excavations located a previously unknown second century AD pottery workshop producing a range of specialist wares. The products mostly consisted of mortaria, flagons and colour-coated beakers, with examples of more unusual vessels such as tazze and a costrel also present. Many of the vessels were similar in both form and fabric to those produced in the nearby South Carlton workshop and one potter, Crico, appears to have worked at both sites. The stamps of four further potters, previously considered to have been working broadly in Lincolnshire, have been retrieved from the Newport site thus locating their workshop at Lincoln. It is known that mortaria from this workshop reached northern Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Hadrian's Wall and the Antonine Wall in Scotland. The assemblage is of both regional and national significance, particularly for understanding the supply routes of mortaria to the north in the second century AD. It is also possible that some of the other wares from this site were distributed beyond the Lincoln area although it is currently difficult to quantify how significant this trade was. Pottery manufacture on the Newport site seems to have ended by some time in the early third century AD and activity on the site changed, with little domestic pottery from the second half of the third century into the fourth century AD evident amongst the assemblage. Following the end of Roman pottery production the site was utilised as an inhumation cemetery with an unusually large number of prone burials together with a possible mausoleum (AAL 2016).
