X‐ray diffraction has been used to analyse the surfaces and cores of sherds from pottery from Voss and Etne. two late Roman‐early Migration Period sites in western Norway. Results show: (1) the presence of illite and illite/smectite in black‐burnished ware from inhumation graves which suggests that this ware was never subjected to temperatures as high as 375°C, (2) the absence of these heat‐sensitive clay minerals in red ware from cremation graves at these sites which suggests a secondary firing at 700–800°C, (3) the clay minerals are similar in the cores and surfaces of the black pottery which suggests that the colour differences are due to firing procedures rather than the application of a slip, and (4) chlorite is present in all of the samples which is an indication that the ware originated in a Voss workshop where chlorite is present in other pottery found there and in the local geologic deposits
