Very informative video. I live vicariously through all the mudlarks, living in the central portion of Illinois. I've learned a lot, and in my next life, I will be born rich and live every waking moment on the Thames foreshore.
Richard I am from Ottawa across the Pond from you and after waking from a nap I have been watching your videos since .4.00 pm. Thats over 3 ours of video watching and I Loved every minute. Gosh you sure know your stuff! I started watching your mudlarking trip to London video and progressed from there. Fascinating. Just fascinating. I am almost beside myself with glee having found the channel. Thank you for your professionalism and knowledge and for sharing same. You are doing a good thing for history and your followers of course.
Thank you so much. An excellent overview. Very accurate. I too am 15 minutes from Alice Holt on the Hampshire side of the kilns where they are mainly located.
This is such a good guide Richard, thank you. I live very close to the Humber and the low cliff at North Ferriby has been eroding very quickly this winter, I found your guide when I was trying to identify bits of pottery I'd found in cliff falls. I have to say I'm a little bit obsessed now, and very impressed with the depth of your knowledge. Absolutely brilliant, you should be on the TV!
I thoroughly enjoyed this! As a long-distance fan of mudlarking (I live in Arizona's Sonoran desert-- not much opportunity to mudlark here), a chance to learn some differentiation between types of Roman pottery was very welcome. One thing that intrigued me was the similarity between the moritarium and the Japanese suribachi; normally the suribachi (a bowl with deliberate patches of opposing parallel lines) is used as just a mortar with a simple pestle; but in Southern Japan, you're often offered a bowl of sesame seeds and several varieties of condiments along with bowl and pestle with which to make your own individually-flavored sauce for food, particularly shrimp. I even ran across this in a small fast-food restaurant; the sesame seeds provide oil and a body for your sauce, and the spices, garlic, hot pepper powder and more liquid condiments give it fluidity and flavor.,
A very thorough and engaging video. Thank you for this and all the others. I'm going to share this on Clio's Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Tumblr pages.
I’d love to see Richard and Nicola White of Tideline Art do a video together...They have a similar knowledgeable and calm approach in their explorations and take the time to provide context and history...

The siding near your house window needs to get fixed before to much rain gets behind it and damages your house.
This is so interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Enjoy your videos, always interesting and informative. I have a better understanding of things I have found. But sad to say none are Roman.
Excellent video!
Thank you Abby
Thank you - very interesting
Dear Richard, do you think when they thought to add the grit to mortariums, they advertised them as new-and-improved?
You are a LEGEND!
Thank you!
love it
