Essex
Colin Wallace
Contributor’s Notes:
(i) In each volume of the county journal,  Essex Archaeol. Hist., since Vol 8 (1977), there appears an article entitled ‘Work of the Essex County Council Archaeology Section 19..’. Despite the title, this is not a collection of ephemera but a gathering of short site reports, watching briefs, stray finds and material submitted to the Section for report, along with more substantial contributions - in short, almost a mini-journal in itself. This contribution does not include all the material on Roman pottery from these articles, only the major entries.

(ii) Since the 1982 closing-date for entry in the gazetteer of The Pottery Kilns of Roman Britain, Swan 1984, seven of the Essex kilns listed therein have achieved full or interim publication, as follows:
Chelmsford 3: ‘Roman Pottery Bibliography’, JRPS 2, entry no. 364. Colchester 14: ‘Roman Pottery Bibliography’, JRPS 2, entry no. 239. Heybridge: ‘Roman Pottery Bibliography’, this volume, entry no.444. Kelvedon 1: ‘Roman Pottery Bibliography’, this volume, entry no. 431. Messing corn Inworth: ‘Roman Pottery Bibliography’, JRPS 2, entry no.364. Thurrock: ‘Roman Pottery Bibliography’, JRPS 2, entry no. 233. (Witham: ‘Roman Pottery Bibliography’, this volume, entry no. 443).
In addition, entry no. 431 (this volume) includes a photograph of Kelvedon 2.
