Bucket shaped pots, with a main distribution in southern and western Norway, developed and disappeared during the Migrtion Period (5th and 6th century AD). The pots occur in almost every grave during this period as well as in residential contexts. The typological development of these pots is of central importance to the chronological phasing of the period in western Scandinavia. The archaeometric approach towards the bucket shaped pot culture in Rogaland revealed that the main source for the pottery changed through time.
