Resumen de Penhow Castle, Gwent: a study of its early post-medieval ceramics and position within the South Wales region
The ceramics assemblage from Penhow Castle is one of the largest from South Wales. This study provides characterisation and quantification of a selection of the early post-medieval ceramics assemblage from the site to aid the interpretation of the manor. Following this, further context to post-medieval ceramics in South Wales is given, illustrating the changing fashions and supply networks which occur with the onset of the 16th century. It highlights the declining socio-economic status of the site within the region but suggests that the occupants were continuing to emulate the practices and fashion of the social elite post-15th century.
