Description
Summary:This collection contains images taken in Spring 2021 of pottery sherds from the archaeological collection of The Arctic University Museum of Norway, Tromsø. The sherds object ID are: Ts5629 q-ee, Ts5630 d-l, Ts5631 d-l, Ts5632 c-f, Ts5633 b-f, Ts5634 b-l, Ts5636 a-kp, Ts5637 g-nn, Ts5638 a-ææ, Ts5639 a-å, Ts5640 a-åå, and Ts9583 b. This work was done in connection to my master thesis in archaeology, about Vardø in the middle ages. For this to be done I did a type determination by performing a macroscopic analysis. The main focus in my master was to study pottery from the middle ages to answer my thesis question about Vardø's role during this time. With input and help from Volker Demuth, Reidar Bertelsen, and Natascha Mehler.
