🔍 🚨 Mudlarks and other searchers! This brilliant new project is mapping the distribution of post-medieval German stoneware vessels - so-called Bartmann or Bellarmine jugs - around the world 🌎 . Now YOU can help by adding your finds to the database 👇.
Delighted to announce the project website for #BartmannGoesGlobal an Anglo-German collaboration focused on the ubiquitous Rhenish stoneware #Bartmann #Bellarmine jug. Found on archaeological sites or shipwrecks off Western Australia there’s no escaping these German lovelies. 🧵
