The area is, however, comparatively neglected in discussion of Roman Britain, where it is often subsumed into a generalised treatment of the 'civilian' part of Britannia that is based largely on other parts of the country. This book aims to redress the balance. The focus is particularly on Kent, Surrey and Sussex account is taken of information from neighbouring counties, particularly when the difficult subsoils affect the availability of evidence. An overview of the environment and a consideration of themes relevant to the South-East as a whole accompany 14 papers covering the topics of rural settlement in each county, crops, querns and millstones, animal exploitation, salt production, leatherworking, the working of bone and similar materials, the production of iron and iron objects, non-ferrous metalworking, pottery production and the supply of tile to Roman London. Agriculture and industry provides an up-to-date assessment of our knowledge of the southern hinterland of Roman London and an area that was particularly open to influences from the Continent"--Publisher description. 606 $aRomans$zEngland$zWeald, The$xHistory 606 $aAgriculture, Ancient$zEngland$zWeald, The, Region 606 $aIndustrial archaeology$zEngland$zWeald, The, Region 607 $aWeald, The, Region (England)$xAntiquities, Roman 607 $aKent (England)$xAntiquities, Roman 607 $aSurrey (England)$xAntiquities, Roman 615 0$aRomans$xHistory. 615 0$aAgriculture, Ancient 615 0$aIndustrial archaeology 676 $a338.09362/2 702 $aBird$b David 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816521903321 996 $aAgriculture and industry in south-eastern Roman Britain$94032034 997 $aUNINA
