The Fine Pottery (P. M. Kenrick) includes a detailed type series of the forms recorded in some 38 major categories of fine ware, spanning a period from the third century B.C. to the seventh century A.D. (more than 800 catalogued forms). Black-glazed wares, terra sigillata and other categories are documented from sources as far afield as Syria, the Black Sea and Gaul, providing important new evidence for trade patterns in the Mediterranean. |
