MILG - Mildenhall Glazed Ware
Glazed version of MILCW. This is a fenland product, similar to Ely ware.
TS sample description (Patrick Quinn): Frequent rounded to sub-rounded medium sand sized inclusions of quartz with less common iron-stained chert, polycrystalline quartz, quartzite and ferruginous inclusions. Only sparse silt-sized inclusions suggesting that the sand was added as temper. One large possible pottery fragment. Non-vitrified, non-calcareous reduction-fired clay matrix. Frequent macro-elongate voids and vughs.
Example from putative production site in Mildenhall.
