jars, with sagging bodies and vertically-oriented bosses, as
well as a range of Saxon metalwork. The paper is only a brief summary of the
British material to be found in a number of published reports on both
cemeteries and occupation sites, mostly in central Normandy. |
presented in the form of a
catalogue, with only very limited noting of parallels, except for the
samian, which is reported on in detail, although the drawings are relatively
poor. The colour-coated wares are nevertheless very fine, spanning a
considerable range of types. 666 Schaub, J, ‘Le potier Clamosus: sa production révélée par les fouilles de Bliesbruck (Moselle)’, Revue Arch. de I’Est et du Centre-Est Tome XXXVIII, fasc. 1-2, Mélanges offerts à Marcel Lutz, 1987, 67-76. exc/set/mid-3rd/usf ets/stv/gft A deposit at Bliesbruck was found to contain a total of seven vessels stamped or signed by the potter Clamosus, of whose work only one previous example had been found (and published by Oswald). The study of these vessels, and of the vessels found in the same deposit of L. At. At., an Eschweilerhof potter, shows that the figure-types of both potters have connections with Trier Workshop II production, and those of Clamosus also have connections with Rheinzabern products. These connections are not, however, considered sufficient evidence to suggest that Clamosus actually worked at any of these production centres, and it is proposed instead that his vessels may represent an as-yet unlocated East Gaulish workshop. 667 Schweitz, D, Toulier, C & B, Ferdière, A, Fehrnbach, X & Blanc, P-M, ‘L’atelier de potier de Mougon (Crouzilles, Indre-et- Loire)’, Revue Arch. du Centre Tome 25, Vol 1, 1986, 37-77. exc/kln,ptp/mid lst+ lcl/amp Résumé (translation RPS): "Excavations in 1979 at the Paviers factory... occasioned new archaeological discoveries on the potter’s manufacture at "Mougon". In addition to several observations which gave a better idea of the site topography, the principal find was a potter’s kiln, dated to the middle of the first century, AD, which produced coarse wares and amphorae (Dressel 2-4 and Gauloise 4): the evidence of this production brings to light the question of viticulture in Touraine. Appendices give archaeomagnetic dating of the kiln, petrological and chemical characterization of ceramic production, and palynological (geological) analysis". 668 Simpson, G, ‘Production céramique de Montans (Tarn) et masque de théâtre de Wilderspool dans le Cheshire’, Revue Arch. de l’Est et du Centre-Est Tome XXXVIII, fasc. 1-2, Mélanges offerts à Marcel Lutz, 1987, 251-255. col/mil,ind,ptp/Domitian-c145/usf tsg (Montans)/theatrical mask A brief paper on some Montans sherds at Warrington museum, accompanied by a theatrical mask, all apparently found at Wilderspool (that provenance is given only in the title of the paper). It is suggested that the mask is typical of the orange- rose coloured wares of the kilns of Stockton Heath. Unfortunately it seems likely that the paper could have benefitted from a somewhat more sympathetic translation. 669 Symonds, R P, ‘La production de la sigillée a Colchester en Angleterre, et les liens avec les ateliers de la Gaule de l’Est: quelques résultats des analyses chimiques’, Revue Arch. de l’Est et du Centre-Est Tome XXXVIII, fasc. 1-2, Mélanges offerts I Marcel Lutz, 1987, 77-81. |
