Description
In 2003, the largest city centre excavation at Göttingen to date, covering almost 10,000 m², yielded significant findings on the Early Medieval nucleus of today's city with many sunken-featured buildings and traces of crafts. In the area of the settlement "Gutingi", which was first mentioned in A.D. 953 and to which Göttingen owes its name, thousands of pottery fragments were recovered during the work at the "Kurze Geismarstraße 26-30" site. Over the years, these artefacts were systematically recorded in painstaking detail. A wide variety of metric, technological and morphological parameters were statistically analysed. This made it possible for the first time to trace the local genesis of Early and High Medieval pottery in Göttingen on a broad material and data basis and to place it in a supra-regional context. The title of the book stands for the change from crude handmade earthenware to the first pottery produced by professional craftspersons. The volume sheds light on over half a millennium of Medieval pottery development in Göttingen, from the beginnings of the village of "Gutingi" in the 7th/8th century A.D. to the time of the foundation of the town around A.D. 1180.
