Mortaria at Strageath were dominated in the Flavian period by imports and Verulamium region products, in contrast with Inchtuthil (entry no 335, Vol 2), with its local production.
A good range of mortaria are illustrated.

Anderson discusses the pottery from around a ?kiln at the fort bathhouse. Perhaps "a single failed kiln load": certainly it is of poor quality and no such products have been found at other contemporary sites. The assemblage includes dish and bowl forms after African red slip ware.

This is a potentially useful Antonine assemblage marred by being split-up into four separate reports and dumped into fiche. The major interest of the report is that this is the first good study of a civilian settlement in Roman Scotland. See also entry no 545.

This is a distinctive grouping of oxidised wares covering such a wide range of vessel-forms that they are interpreted as local products. Severn Valley ware seems to have been

the potters’ strongest influence. There is a possibility of a potter’s workshop amongst the excavated structures.
