Samenvatting

The terp Tritsum w as excavated by Water­bolk in 1959-61. Recently a provisional study of the early medieval pottery revealed that the ratio between imported (wheel­thrown) and native (handmade) pottery is in favour of the latter category, whereas in other coastal sites the outcome is the re­verse. The bulk of the native pottery is tem­pered with organic matter. Up till now this trait was thought to be limited to the Roman period. A few 'Anglo-Saxon' pots are of the same fabric. This pottery can be dated be­tween the 5th and the 7th century. Its distri­bution within the terp shows a concentration in the southern part. The amount of early medieval sherds (c. 2000) is negligible com­pared with the number of sherds of the fore­going periods.
