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.
