註釋This volume presents a detailed modern record of the remarkably well-preserved remains of a late pottery kiln found in 1921 at Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales. Possible reconstructions of the kiln, and of a second kiln destroyed in 1921, are discussed, along with their context and products. The discussion leads on to a wide-ranging review of the forms and operation of traditional pottery kilns. A new classification of such kilns is proposed, drawing on archaeological remains of many periods and places, ethnographic evidence from different parts of the world, and the authors' many years of experimental kiln firing. Recommendations are made regarding the excavation of pottery production sites and the processing of pottery waste. Finally, a glossary offers a proposed revision to the terminology used in describing kilns
