What one man knows, another may benefit from.There is a general assertion among historians that, by AD400, the barbarians’ pottery industry had died. Yet this is oversimplifying the situation somewhat; whilst it is true that specialised industries declined across the Roman Empire and beyond, there were some places where it endured. In Britannia, for example, the pottery industry all but evaporated as the Western Empire floundered. Places like Egypt, however, continued to produce specialised craftsmanship. In Gaul and the north of the Empire, the craftsmanship of previous centuries faded, however, and a more simplified form emerged; one which produced goods more for the sake of sale than skill. With this came a greater co-operation between individuals as craftsmen worked together, not in competition, but due to the shared (and very real) sense that the world was heading into decline. In doing so, individuals, and their families and communities, were able to survive.
