Book Description
Excavations on any Roman site produce pottery in quantity, both local and imported, fine table ware and cooking pots, resulting in a growing problem for archaeologists: how should they examine and report effectively on the immense quantities of pottery that have resulted from years of rescue excavations? This review critiques the pottery reports of the 1970s and 1980s and assesses the pros and cons of the many quantification methods used by England's archaeological units.
