Introduction
This third volume of the Bibliography is the largest so far, which must in itself demonstrate the considerable enthusiasm of our contributors - it is beginning to feel like a relatively successful enterprise. The size of the volume is also due at least in part to the lengthy period of time which has elapsed since Volume 2 was completed, and to the general gathering of somewhat earlier material which for some reason or another eluded Volumes 1 and 2. Also, the average length of the entries is becoming somewhat longer, for reasons best known to the various contributors...
   In Volume 2 we announced that Volume 3 would have three new sections, but only one of these, ‘Recent or current theses concerned with Roman pottery’ (contributed by Steven Willis), actually appears. Of the other two sections, ‘Lamps, counters, figurines and other ceramic objects’ will now be contributed by Richard Pollard, and will begin with Volume 4; ‘Scientific analyses’ will probably appear in Volume 5. (It is the editor who is to blame for the absence of these sections from this volume: do not hesitate to send potential entries on these subjects to the relevant contributors for inclusion in either Volumes 4 or 5). Some other changes have also taken place among the contributors for Volume 4: these are detailed in the list of contributors below.
   Once again, for all subjects covered by the Bibliography, our readers are heartily encouraged, even urged, to communicate with contributors to ensure that potential entries are not missed, and whenever possible to send them photocopies of articles or the relevant sections or chapters of books. Some contributors seem to prefer to send complete entries relating to other contributors’ counties directly to the editor, or to send him new versions of entries which have already appeared in Volumes 1 or 2: both of these practices are generally acceptable if a new entry is an obvious omission or an old entry was genuinely in need of updating or clarification, but readers and contributors are also urged
   Contributions may be sent to the editor on IBM-compatible 5 1/4 inch diskettes, but preferably by prior arrangement, and in the same ordering as the present Bibliography.
