Description

This volume publishes papers with regards to new research on Roman period ceramics. Two papers present evidence of Late Iron Age and early Roman pottery forms and fabrics from west and east Kent: from West Malling, including transitional wares, and by Sholden villa, with groups of second century date including samian. Ceramic fire-dogs came upon in the area of the Dutch Lowlands and Flanders brings to attention a kind of find that may prove to be more common than up to now noted. The same could also be the case with portable Roman ceramic ovens and baking plates recorded in up to date years in Britain; these two papers give a contribution to a growing corpus and debate on Roman cooking, ‘fast-food’ and functions. Amphorae from the eastern Mediterranean in northern Europe and pottery used in Roman ritual and religion noting distinct types and trends incessantly involving symbolism are discussed. Details of the pottery production site at Snape, Suffolk, and the types produced, are described. This volume also features ‘retrospectives’ as Beth Richardson, Peter Webster and Christopher Young reflect on their careers and experiences working with pottery, taking a look to the future and the volume also accommodates reviews and obituaries.
