Tux, the Linux Penguin, and a Dressel 20 amphora
(NB: penguins are ‘not Roman’).

|
This is a collection of pages on pottery and ceramics in
archaeology, principally of the Roman period (1st cent. BC
- 5th cent. AD) in Britain and western Europe.
-
The pages include an introductory Atlas of Roman Pottery,
containing descriptions and distribution maps of types of
Roman pottery (particularly types found in Britain).
-
The pages of the Atlas describing the individual
wares can be accessed through the main menu, which lists
the wares by CLASS (table
wares, cooking wares, transport amphoras etc) or
SOURCE (by province of
origin). Links to these indices will also be found in the main
menu bar.
The future of Roman Pottery in Britain
-
The site includes a companion to Roman Pottery in
Britain, a survey of pottery made or used in
Britain during the Roman period published in 1996. The pages include an
additional index of non-UK
sites and a list of errata.
-
The first edition of Roman Pottery in Britain is now (November 2005) out of print.
An expanded, updated and revised edition of the Atlas section is under development.
It is intended that the printed volume will be accompanied by a CDROM holding
additional pages, pages with colour images, and a database holding the
data employed in the construction of the distribution maps.
Further details are now available here.
