Dales ware is a type of pottery produced in the South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire[1] areas of England and widely distributed across northern Britain during the 3rd and 4th centuries AD.[2]

Industry

Dales ware was predominantly produced in north Lincolnshire,[3] but had other production centres in Yorkshire,[4] and was traded northwards, east of the Pennines in the 3rd and 4th Centuries AD. It most commonly occurs as jars.[5]

Dales Ware

Dales ware is a handmade, shell-tempered coarseware ceramic with a distinctive rim, often wheel-formed.[5] The fabric is rough and coloured brown-grey.[5] It often includes irregular finger indentations around the lower body, but is generally smoothed towards the shoulder and over the rim and lip.[4]

Dales-type ware

The Dales-type ware was defined by Loughlin.[3] The fabric differs in being hard-fired and grey, in comparison to the above. Dales-type jars are always more numerous than true Dales ware[5] and were popular as burial urns in Roman York.[6]
