During Scoto-Roman times, pottery, there can be no reasonable doubt, was made in Scotland, and many examples that have been brought to light are evidently native manufacture; there are, however, no marked peculiarities belonging to them. Of a later period, “the last pagan period in Scotland,” according to Professor Wilson, some remarkable glazed urns were found, one at East Langton, the other in Aberdeenshire. They were found in stone cists by the sides of skeletons, and were “of rough grey ware, ornamented externally with parallel grooves running round them, and internally covered with a green glaze.” They appear originally to have had “two projecting ears opposite each other, which fitted into corresponding double ones attached to a lid, by which the vessel, when found, was closely covered; and the whole of the projections were perforated to admit a pin which completed the fastening.” (See Figs. [757], [758].)
