At work we're sitting on an archive consisting mainly of a kiln assemblage of 4.5 tons of bits of late medieval cisterns and.....errr...more very similar late medieval cisterns......oh, and one whole one. Strangely no one seems to be terribly interested in taking the archive, but then what's the point of keeping it all anyway? Keep a few form sherds (and the whole one) and frankly the rest could go as heritage hard-core (recycling being the big thing these days) without having any effect whatsoever on our knowledge of late medieval pottery production :face-stir:
