This is the successor to Roman Pottery in Britain (1996) and
updates and expands on Part 2 of the earlier work. The Atlas will
include details of the principal classes of pottery found or used
in Roman Britain, both locally produced and imported. Each entry
will describe the fabric, technology, forms, dating, source and
distribution, and, where appropriate, the potters' stamps and
epigraphy and will be accompanied by a bibliography.
Projected publication date: 2007
Further details are available at the
Oxbow Books website.
An introductory chapter will outline the principal developments in
Roman pottery studies over the last decade and discuss the future role of
digital resources.
The printed volume will be accompanied by a CD-ROM, which will
include searchable and hyperlinked versions of the Atlas pages
with colour maps and photographs, formatted for both screen
display and printing.
A database holding the details of the data
used to produce the British distribution maps will be accessible
on the disk using a standard web browser.
