ceramic material found on the following archaeological sites: Guernsey: The Tranquesous; Kings Road; and La Plaiderie (the first two have produced evidence for both late LA. and Gab- Roman occupation). Jersey: St Clement’s graveyard (Gab-Roman). Britain: Hengistbury Head; Hamworthy; and Bitterne. France: St Malo; Avranches; and Cherbourg. "Changes in the quantity and types of pottery (as well as the presence or absence of particular types), from the site assemblages above, provide the means to assess the relationship between them in a number of chronological contexts. In addition, the imported ceramics from known production centres within the geographical constraint can then be compared with those imports from other more distant production centres". Pottery types recognised as being from known production centres will be considered in the light of other artefactual evidence found in association (such as coins). The approximate date ranges of types may then be established. With this information it should prove possible to elucidate patterns of trading contact through time. Foreign publications R P Symonds & () Peter Webster* 587 Alexandre-Baudoux, J, ‘Nouvelles données sur les importations en Gaule du nord.est: les amphores gauloises de la villa de Saint-Ulrich (Moselle)’, Revue Arch. de l’Est et du Cent re-Est Tome XXXVIII, fasc. 1-2, Mélanges offerts a Marcel Lutz, 1987, 85-91. exc/vil/lst-3rd/usf amp/asg/aga A brief paper on Gaulish amphorae (Gauloise 4/5; Peacock & Williams Class 27-31) found at the large villa of St Ulrich in Lorraine, excavated by M Lutz. A variety of rim-shapes are illustrated, with tables comparing the shapes, categorized according to a number of specific measurements, with visible aspects of the fabrics and their surface treatments. There are also discussions on chronology and distribution of these amphora types. 588 Becker, C, ‘Note sur un lot d’amphores régionales du icr siècle ap. 1.-C. à Lyon (Fouille de l’îlot 24)’, Figlina 7, 1986, 147-150. exc/mjc/first half of the lst/ggp amp/asg/aly A short report on a deposit of amphorae from Lyons, 960 sherds in all, divided into two forms, Dressel 1 (17.5%) and Dressel 2-4 (72.5%). The important point is that all of these, as with those published in entry no. 589, have been shown by analyses to have been made ‘in the region’, although the precise workshop has not yet been identified. 589 Becker, C, Constantin, C, Desbat, A, Jacquin, L & Lascoux, J-P, ‘Le dépôt d’amphores augustéen de Ia rue de la Favorite a Lyon’, Figlina 7, 1986, 65-89. exc/mjc/Augustan/ggp amp/asg/ass/aly/arh/aga/ait/tsg (source not identified, but probably Lyons) A substantial paper on amphorae found at Lyons. The forms presented are: Dressel 2-4, (‘oriental’, Italian & Gaulish versions, inc. one of the latter, stamped); Rhodian; Pascual 1 (Tarraconaise, inc. several stamps); Haltern 70 (Baetican); Marseillan; flat-bottomed; Dressel 7-8 (Baetican); Dressel 9 (Lyons region); Dressel 22/23 (fruit amphorae); and various ‘oriental’ amphorae of indeterminate origin. The large proportion of regionally-made amphorae (see also entry no.		588 suggests that wine production in the Rhône Valley may have been rather earlier than previously thought. 590 Bémont, C, ‘La Fosse Malayal 1 (La Graufesenque) traitement numérique’, Rei Cretariae Romanae Fautores, Ada XXV/XXVI, 1987, 33 1-342. exc,syn,/ptp/lst sts/tsg The Fosse Malaval, also known as the Fosse de Gallicanus, was a large pit excavated in 1978 at La Graufesenque, which contained roughly 8300 vessels, mostly samian. It was probably filled in less than six months, somewhere between 50 and 60 AD. This paper is a statistical study of some correlations the dimensions within the forms present, in particular the correlations between rim and base diameters, and between vessel height and rim diameter. These correlations demonstrate the remarkable homogeneity which was achieved by La Graufesenque potters, during this peak period of production. 591 Bémont, C & Gautier, I, ‘Poinçons-matrices de Rheinzabem et de Blickweiler dans la collection Lafaye a Aix-en-Provence’, Revise Arch. de l’Est et du Centre-Est Tome XXXVIII, fasc. 1-2, Mélanges offerts à Marcel Lutz, 1987, 13-22. col,chm/---/Hadrianic+ cts/ets/eqp A group of eleven poinçons found in a collection at the Musée Granet, Aix-en-Provence, had previously been thought to have been first discovered in Bordeaux. But further study of the figures involved, and analyses by thermoluminesce (JG) have confirmed the author’s (CB) view that these were figures used at Blickweiler and Rheinzabem. Four sherds and a potter’s signature (Floridi) are illustrated. Location: Musée Granet, Aix-en-Provence 592 Benredjeb, T, ‘La céramique gallo-romaine à Amiens (Somme): 1 La céramique gab-beige’, Revue Arch. de Picardie no. 3/4, 1985, 143-176. exc,syn/mil,mjc/late Augustan to Flavian/typ egg/blg/tng/trb/nri/btb/pph/grf/lcg/gab This is the first of a planned series of studies on 1st century pottery from Amiens (studies on 3rd and 4th century material are planned by D Bayard, and pottery clearly to the 2nd century seems to be almost non-existent from Amiens). Basically it is a type series of terra nigra, terra rubra and related wares, such as butt beakers and narrow-necked jars (Cam form 231/232). Well presented, with many parallels quoted and much detailed discussion of the derivation and dating of individual types. It is worthwhile comparing this material with what is presented in entry no. 628, early wares found at Trier. See also entry no. 593.

Additionally, however, it has a large table showing the presence/absence of particular forms at a some twenty-nine important sites in northern Europe, including four in Britain.
