arr/?clc/mca/trb/btb/gro/osd
A new catalogue of the 1924 finds, which attempts to distinguish the original grave-goods (grog-tempered butt-beaker and bowl, and probably also a Central Gaulish mica-gilt jar). Previously published in Archaeologia 76 (1927) by Layer. See also entry no. 447.

Published by period and significant groups - quite full printed text supplemented by microfiche catalogue of rest of illustrated pottery. Fabric types series given for Iron Age coarse wares. Note a fine IA stamp-decorated vessel (previously published in Britannia 4) and that not everyone is convinced by the arguments for the military phase (see entry no. 436).
Location: Colchester & Essex Museum

432 Rodwell, W I, ‘The Terra Sigillata’, and ‘The Coarse Pottery’, in Drury, P 1, Rodwell, W I & Wickenden, N P, ‘Finds from the Probable Site of a Roman Villa at Dawes Heath, Thundersley, Essex’, Essex Archaeol. His:. 13, 1981 (1982), (66-68), 66- 68.

Detail only for the samian. Includes a possible ‘smith’s vase’, a vessel with ‘Romano-Saxon’ decoration, and a Mayen ware jar - the rest is summarised. Adds 5 finds of Mayan ware in Essex to Fulford & Bird’s list (Britannia 6, 1975).

Settlement site abandoned cAD 40-60 and given over to agriculture for the rest of the Roman period. The unusually large deposit of pottery in the latest pm-Roman Iron Age ditch may be evidence of a rite of termination.

The (detailed) printed text is supplemented by a catalogue of the decorated samian on microfiche. Of note are fragments of decorated and plain early Lezoux ware, alas not in useful contexts. See Rodwell in Wickenden (entry no. 444) for a more recent comment on the paucity of East Gaulish samian at Kelvedon (more abundant on coastal sites than inland).

In a detailed interim report on the late 1970’s excavations, Turner discusses a range of pm- and post-conquest imports (from Dr lB amphorae to Central Gaulish glazed ware). Note that the figure reference should be ‘12’ throughout, not ‘14’. See also fig. 9 for a range of late Iron Age grog-tempered forms.
