Late Medieval Pottery Assemblage from the Castle Site in Puck
ABSTRACT

The focus of the article is an assemblage of pottery fragments secured while
excavating the castle site at Puck from a kitchen midden identified next to a
residential structure of the castle. The stratigraphic seąuence of the midden was
formed by thirteen layers spanning early fifteenth and the first decades of the
sixteenth century. The pottery assemblage of interest is dated mainly by coins of the
Teutonic Order and by Polish coins, from respectively, the first half and the second
half of the fifteenth century. One of the ąuestions examined by the author is the
diversity of vessel forms which were in use during the period of interest in the castle
household. A morę accurate dating of the finds from Puck makes it possible to tracę
the changes observed over time in the course of analysis of technological and
morphological attributes of the pottery set.
