The first report covers a small group of pottery from the R-B site at Stonygate, near Pickering, including mortaria probably from Crambeck kilns.
The latter report includes sherds from small-scale 1940’s excavations in the Norton area, and publishes material from a kiln excavated in 1949 at Grove Bungalow, Langton Road, Norton.

This is the second York Archaeological Trust report on Roman pottery (cf JRPS 3, entry no. 534, for the first). As the author states, much of the pottery was from unsealed levels, but nonetheless it is an extremely useful publication, especially for 2nd century material. The full quantification data is on microfiche but there is a clear summary on p249, and there are 13 tables in the text showing minimum numbers of vessels by fabric and form. The report is very clearly set out, easy to use and, perhaps most important, readable: it will undoubtedly be useful to archaeologists in general, and not merely to pottery specialists.

A re-issue of Philip Corder’s original reports together with recent work by Jeremy Evans, et al. It is very useful to have brought together all the available work on Crambeck pottery, but a great shame that it was "Perfect"-bound: my copy is a heap of loose sheets.

Not all of the pottery from the 1967-9 excavations is considered: only that retained by one of the excavators is reported on. The majority of the vessels are of local manufacture; there are few imports.

Most of the pottery from this excavation was lost in a fire at the Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust Headquarters. That, published is not, therefore, a representative sample but a result of a (considerable) salvage operation. Thus we have a complete samian report but no illustrations, a small amount of coarse pottery and amphorae and a more complete sample of the mortaria.
