About MeDuring the excavations at the Carmelite friary in Aberdeen a small amount of pottery was recovered. This cooking pot rim was found in an area north of the church and was imported from the south east of Scotland in the medieval period.

This type of pottery was made around the area of the Firth of Forth and was imported into Aberdeen in the 12th and 13th centuries. It was widely used in the form of jugs and cooking pots, prior to the development of the Aberdeen pottery industry.
