Feldberger ceramics

The Feldberger ceramic is a group of medieval elbslawischen pottery . This type of ceramic was originally dated to the 8th to 9th centuries, but was used in the 9th – 10th centuries. Century in eastern Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . Alternatively, it is also known as the Feldberger-Gołańcz-Kędrzyny Group.

Named in 1961 by the Mecklenburg archaeologist Ewald Schuldt after finds on the Feldberg castle wall , the ceramics are one of the leading forms of early Slavic ceramics alongside the Sukow-Dziedzice group . The ceramics were partially richly decorated with comb-line decorations and wavy ribbons and were disk-turned. It thus differed from the undecorated and hand-formed goods of the previous Sukow-Dziedzice group.
