The goal of this project was for me to recreate an extant Anglo-Saxon pottery vessel in as historically accurate a manner as I possibly could, including firing it in a pit or bonfire. The pot I chose was from a recent 2021-22 dig that took place in Wendover, Buckinghamshire England (https://doi.org/10.5284/1120962). Along with this recreation, I also did a lot of historical background research into Anglo Saxon funerary practices, and how pottery was associated with them.
