and a series of rouletted beakers with either cornice or rounded/evened rim, plus a carinated beaker and a shallow Pompeian-red-type dish. Most of the latter appears to have been locally-made, but this is by no means a comprehensive type-series.

A brief note for the Lutz festschrift on a Drag form 29 in the style of Saturninus-Satto from Nida-Heddernheim, near Frankfurt. The piece is particularly interesting since Drag 29’s are rare with Saturninus-Satto, and obviously it must represent their earliest production.

A long and ruminative paper on the nature of distribution maps, using those compiled by the author and others on Dressel 1 amphorae as the basic examples. While usefully pointing out the problems which may lie hidden in many distribution studies, the paper suffers somewhat from a bias towards speaking in the first person, and a mildly patronising view of colleagues: ‘In particular the role of statistical analysis at a very elementary and primary level will be emphasized. This is a sort of analysis all archaeologists do, although they are usually unaware of it." (p. 84). The exposition is undoubtedly useful in particular for students of amphorae, but it is a pity that some comparative work could not have been undertaken to show the extent to which the problems exposed were particular to amphora studies, or pertain across a wider spectrum of pottery studies.

syn/trd/late Iron Age to end of Roman period
"Résumé: The evidence that pottery provides for trade and contact across the Channel between the late Iron Age and the end of the Roman period is reviewed. The problem of distinguishing between the regional and long distance stimuli to cross-Channel traffic is discussed. Quantitative studies of imported wares as a proportion of complete pottery assemblages will help to resolve this mailer. The regional pattern becomes clearer in the late Roman period when long distance traffic is of less importance. Quantitative studies of BB1 and Oxfordshire ware allow us to distinguish two main areas of contact in the later Roman period. On the one hand there is evidence for important links between central southern England and eastern Brittany and western Normandy; on the other, the evidence of Oxfordshire ware, Argonne ware and Eifelkeramik demonstrates the role of short crossings between the mouth of the Rhine and Boulogne and east Kent and the Thames estuary, including London. In general we probably underestimate the importance of the links between north-western France and southern and south-eastern England in the Roman period." In short, an up-dated and boiled-down version, in French, of the author’s paper in Peacock (ed.), Pottery and Early Commerce, 1977.
