Huntcliff ware
Type of Romano-British ceramic
Huntcliff ware or more correctly 'Huntcliff-type', is a type of Romano-British ceramic.
Use of the term 'Huntcliff ware' is contentious because it suggests the pottery was manufactured at the Roman signal station[1] on the east coast of Yorkshire. No kilns have been found for the calcite-gritted ware industry but an East Yorkshire source is suspected on distribution patterns, possibly in the Vale of Pickering.The term Huntcliff-type refers to the report[2] in which this jar was first recognised as a type.
