38 jars were found in the Must Farm assemblage, most of which were courseware vessels used for everyday transportation, storage, food preparation and as cooking vessels.

In this episode, Dr. Chris Wakefield (CAU), discusses the ‘living’ and ‘dead’ assemblages that were found at Must Farm and how the evidence from the two can give us a better insight into how people in the Late Bronze Age used and viewed these vessels. Chris is joined by prehistoric pottery expert Graham Taylor (Potted History) who guides us through the process of making a coarseware jar and explores why some pots were discarded when others show evidence of repair.
