E-goods
E-ware is a coarse, hard ceramic with quartz sand inclusions , which is found in the British Isles (but primarily in Northern Ireland and Scotland ) and in the form of glasses (E1), mugs (E2), dishes (E3), jugs and jugs ( E4) and conical lids (E5).
The vessels made on the potter's wheel are white and greasy, yellow to dark red or gray, unglazed and only a few are slightly decorated. The goods are considered to be particularly suitable for transport over longer distances. The origin of the e-goods is unclear, but is likely to be in the Atlantic region of France , from where it was imported between the late 6th and 8th centuries AD. The reconstruction of Dunadd's e-goods in Scotland is unique in Great Britain and is based on extensive excavations.
