Grave-mounds and their contents; a manual of archaeology, as exemplified in the burials of the Celtic, the Romano-British, and the Anglo-Saxon periods
A manual of British archaeology by Llewellynn Jewitt, published in London in 1870, written for antiquaries and students of prehistoric and early historic burials of Celtic, Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon periods. Its engravings show excavated hand-made pottery vessels from grave-mounds, drawn in fine parallel hatching with the broken rims and surface decoration recorded plainly. A designer could take from them the rough, hand-built forms of ancient urns and the dense cross-hatched shading used to model clay surfaces.
