This Frankish pot was found in Maastricht, Limburg, a southeastern city in the Netherlands. It dates back to the first half of 7th century and was found in 1929. During the Merovingian period different artisanal activities became quite frequent at Maastricht. On the west bank of the River Meuse, at the Lage Kanaaldijk and in Lanakerveld, and on the east bank of the river, in the Céramique-area, traces of pottery production have been recovered. On the east bank of the River Meuse, in the Céramique-area four cross-draught pottery kilns were excavated, and that is where this pot was founded. This particular pot is a misfired pot which means this pot was probably never used for practical purposes, but its intended purpose may have included cooking.
