Colonia by means
of a series of maps showing the distributions of Arretine stamps, early
graves and the earliest street-plan. Location: Rheinisches Landesmuseum, Bonn (?) 633 Hermet, F, La Graufesenque (Condatomago): 1. Vases Sigillés -2. Graffites, Laffitte Reprints, Marseille, 1979. In two volumes, one containing text, the other illustrations. exc,col,syn/kln,ptp/lst/typ sts/gft/eqp(samian moulds;potters’ tools)/kiln furniture Unfortunately the reprinting of this fundamental volume, first published in 1934, was limited to 500 copies, but it was still to be found in a bookshop in Rodez in 1987, priced at FF440 (roughly £44). It contains a large number of very fine illustrations of South Gaulish figure-types, as well as photographs of the famous graffiti plates and some potters’ implements, such as ovolo- roulettes. The discussion is extremely detailed. When are we going to have English translations of the important French and German volumes (since the French seem to be happily translating the comparable German and English works)? 634 Hofmann, B, ‘Relations entre etudes céramiques et histoire antique’, Société Francaise d' Elude de la Céramique Antique en Gaule, Actes du Congrès de Caen, 28-31 mai, 1987, 1987, 113-117. syn/trd/lst-4th A not quite unbiased view of the influence of particular historical events on pottery manufacture and distribution in northern Europe during the Roman period. For Hofmann, it seems that the presence of the highest quality pottery indicates the highest degree of ‘Romanization’. Unfortunately, the rather non- specific nature of the discussion will not lead to a great debate, such as has been stirred-up by Anthony King (see entry no 382, Volume 2). 635 Hofmann, B, Catalogue des Estampilles sur Vaiselle Sigillée", Revue Arch. Sites, Hors-série no. 27, (not dated), edited by 1’Assoc. Française d’Arch. Métropolitaine. syn/---/lst-3rd arr/sts/mvs/cts/ets A catalogue of potters’ stamps from the following production centres: La Graufesenque, Lezoux, Montans, Les Martres de Veyre, the Argonne, Rheinzabern, Sinzig, Arezzo, and Pouzzoles (in that order). illustrated with drawings, but the accompanying information in the catalogue is relatively limited. 636 Hofmann, B, Catalogue des Formes de Sigillées et d’Amphores, Revue Arch. Sites Hors-série no. 28, 1985, edited by 1’Assoc. Française d’Arch. Métropolitaine. syn/---/lst-3rd amp/tsg Apparently an attempt at a total re-classification of these two major pottery types: samian is reduced to 60 form types, and amphorae are expanded to 312 form types. Seems relatively unnecessary, with no new evidence, and there is no sign of it coming into general use. 637 Hofmann, B, L’Atelier de Banassac, Revue Arch. Sites Hors-série no. 33, February 1988, edited by l’Assoc. Française d’Arch. Métropolitaine. syn/ptp,kln/lst sts (Banassac) An important volume for students of samian ware, with 549 |
