Pottery is normally the most abundant find on any archaeological site, and can provide a vast amount of information about technology, trade, communications, wealth, industry and lifestyle. This informative book takes an in-depth look at how pottery was made and circulated and how pottery can be useful to archaeologists. It then goes on to look at the different types of wares that existed in the four centuries of Roman Britains. It also covers samian ware, amphorae and graffiti, kitchenwares, lamps, etc. The numerous illustrations and informative text combine to make this book invaluable both to students and archaeologists, as well as to those interested in finding out more about a remarkable period of life in the history of Britain.
