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.
