The few finds of pottery from this period in a non-urban context can, however, shed light on the spreading of a&nbsp;continental or Hanseatic culture into the periphery of this country. This paper provides a broad overview of archaeological&nbsp;finds of pottery from Bergen and their implications as sources of cultural history. Furthermore, this paper presents various&nbsp;rural and underwater finds of late medieval and early modern pottery in different regions of Norway, along with a discussion&nbsp;of a possible interpretation of the finds as sources for Hanseatic history.&nbsp;</p> ER -
