The report is an attempt to draw conclusions from over 40 years of research on the medieval pottery from Wharram Percy. It charts the period from the 5th to the 17th centuries; 1200 years during which time the sources of pottery used by the inhabitants of the village changed, as did their social and economic network of contacts. Less than half of the pottery comes from stratified contexts, but its distribution across the site nonetheless gives invaluable insights into the excavations and helps to place it within its regional and national context. The report is the culmination of an ambitious project conceived of by Anna Slowikowski, who had worked on the material for many years, but who was prevented from completing the work due to illness. The meticulous detail of her archive will, however, provide future students with an invaluable resource, and it is hoped that this report will serve not only as an overview of the conclusions which can be drawn from Anna's scholarly work, but as a memorial to her commitment and contribution to the Wharram Percy project.
