The fabric descriptions, catalogue and discussion are all by phase. There is recognition of a non-Wareham/Poole Harbour Black Burnished ware fabric(s), but no separation of which vessels occur in it.
   720 Moore, W F & Ross, M S, ‘The Romano-British Settlement, Common Mead Lane, Gillingham, Dorset’, Proc Dorset Nat Hist & Archaeol Soc, Vol 111, 1989, (57—70), 59—65. Includes ‘The Samian Pottery’, by B R Hartley, 59-62, and ‘The Pottery’, by M S Ross, 62-65.

amp/bbl/ccc/cts/dur/ets/glz/gry/ktm/nfc/nfg/nfm/nfp/oxp/orc/
oxw/rhn/sts/tng
Includes a fabric series; the forms are described according to other published series. There is a brief commentary, quantification is limited to noting the percentages present for most fabric types, along with a histogram, in percentages, which show BB1 to have been the pre-dominant fabric, at 38% (?sherd count).

amp/bbl/cts/dur/ktm/nfc/orc/sts/vrm
A typical range of Black Burnished ware for the area; also, late 1st AD local wheel-thrown white ware vessels (flagons, carinated bowls, etc) from Corfe Mullen, Dorset. The printed text concentrates on descriptions of the illustrated sherds but there is also a microfiche section. There are comments on the samian by K Greene, with descriptions, discussion and quantification in the printed text.

exc/mil/lst AD
bbl/dur/ktm/lyc/mro/sts
With a samian report by BR Hartley. A traditional-style report, with descriptions of illustrated sherds only. The samian report is, however, slightly more detailed.

This report is especially important for its large group of early
imported finewares. Full descriptions of the quantification and the fabric, form and, where appropriate, decoration, type series appear in the printed text. Small amounts of briquetage and kiln material are also present.

   724 Woodward, P J, ‘The Excavation of an Iron Age and Romano-British Settlement at Rope Lake Hole, Corfe Castle, Dorset’, in Sunter, N & Woodward, P J, Romano-British Industries in Purbeck, 1987, (125—180), 149—158.

exc/cem,rrs/Durotrigian-early Roman 
bbl/dur
Small scale excavations, prior to building operations, revealed a Durotrigian crouched inhumation, a grain storage pit, an oven and several other small features. Six pots were found with the burial, mostly local copies of samian and other Gallo-Belgic forms.

An excellent discussion by Going, but the first author’s account of the dating evidence is a bit vague (and why does he dislike BB2 so much?). More importantly, why did the excavator publish two varying assessments of the dating evidence? The total assemblage is quantified by EVEs.

Small-scale excavations following-up fieldwalking finds. "The intention of this report is to demonstrate the general range of ceramic artefacts from the site rather than to provide detailed evidence for the dating of specific features" (p56). This would seem redundant in view of the more extensive work undertaken by the Passmore Edwards Museum. It is often not clear exactly
