A Corpus of Roman Pottery from Lincoln


Book Description

This is the first major analysis of the Roman pottery from excavations in Lincoln (comprising more than 150,000 sherds). The pottery is presented in seven major ware groups. Fine wares include a modest range of imports and are dominated by Nene Valley products. Oxidised wares are mostly local products with a few imports as are the shell- and calcite-tempered wares and reduced wares. The final three are the standard specialised wares: mortaria, mostly of German and Mancetter-Hartshill manufacture; amphorae (80% Spanish Dressel 20) and samian, mostly from Les Martres/Lezoux and 75% undecorated! The discussion explores the chronological range of the entire ceramic assemblage across the three discrete parts of the Roman fortress and later colonia.




Roman Pottery in Context


Book Description

This study focuses on the evidence for internal and external cultural influences in north-eastern Greece, examined through ceramic assemblages of the Roman period found near Amphipolis, Philippi, Kepia, Abdera and Thasos. The typology is based on analysis of the stratigraphy where the pottery was found, and on non-ceramic material, such as coins, inscriptions and architectural members, and the chronology is supported by identifiable imported pottery found elsewhere. The fine pottery is arranged according to type: Terra Sigillata wares, Red Slip wares and other minor groups such as Macedonia Grey and Glazed pottery. The coarse wares are classified, arranged according to their fabric, shape, and function. Along with the catalogue is a discussion of the ceramic types, their quantity and chronology. Finally, through the results of this study, the wider area of north-eastern Macedonia and Thrace is re-examined with attention to cultural influences during the Roman period.
