groups, probably all incomplete owing to discarding by the excavator and the method of storage, which is described: the dating has some discrepancies with Meates’ Volume I (The Excavations). See also a critical review by S S From in Archaeologia Cantiana, 104, (1987), 410-412.

The illustrations include 22 mould-decorated pieces, 3 plain vessels (two with cut-glass decoration and a ‘barrel-shaped’ beaker), and 11 stamps.
Them am 82 descriptions, divided by chronological period and source, and subdivided by provenance in the excavation. The stamp descriptions do not use the notation used by Hartley & Dickinson. Them are some conflicts between this report and the identifications referred to by Meates in Volume I (The Excavations). (See article by G. Simpson in this volume).
Them is a table of incidences of forms by source region (SG/CG-EG) and period, the total being some 387 vessels, including a relatively high proportion from East Gaul, although some vessels are left as either CG or EG.
