An abridged version (in French) of the paper which appeared in JRPS Volume 2, Storey, et a!, ‘A chemical investigation of "Colchester" samian by means of inductively-coupled plasma emission spectrometry’. The main finding is that some sherds previously identified as Coichester samian are found to have probably been made at Sinzig, on the Rhine, including all analysed sherds attributed to Hull’s Potter C.

An earlier, shorter version (in French) of a paper which appears elsewhere in this JRPS volume, ‘The problem of roughcast beakers, and related colour-coated wares’. The analyses of ‘bag- shaped’ roughcast beakers found at Colchester have shown that a small, typologically indistinguishable proportion of these were probably not made at Colchester, and their association with analyses of various samian wares suggests that these may have been made at Sinzig, on the Rhine. A further group of equally typologically indistinguishable vessels from kiln-sites in the 67 Argonne is also illustrated.

This book is a summary of Mme Tuffreau-Libre’s work on the pottery from a considerable number of sites in northern France. It is, however, limited to the study of coarse pottery types, which means that not only samian but also all types of colour-coated wares are excluded. It is nevertheless an interesting volume, with a considerable amount of discussion of the dating of types, and including numerous graphs showing the frequency of general types at different sites, as well as studies of vessel-sizes. Some of these latter discussions look rather pseudo-scientific, although this may only be because they do appear to have been computer-generated: for her generation, Mme Tuffreau-Libre's approach is undoubtedly relatively enlightened. It is not helped, however, by her drawings: her style of ubiquitous stippling is very distinctive, but it does not make for easy comparisons with vessels from elsewhere.
