This report covers pottery from the excavations in 1963, 1966 and 1970, and includes comments cci the mortaria by K F Hartley, on the samian by H Pengelly, and on an amphora handle by D F Williams. There are 92 illustrations including Iron Age pottery and samian. The discussion deals with the chronology and development of the pottery, and it is very useful.

This ‘popular’ publication is mentioned here because it includes the following useful items: 1) a map (fig I11.9) which shows, among other things, the distribution of imported amphorae and of Belgic cremation cemeteries; 2) plans of the larger settlements (fig I11.22) showing pottery kilns in context 3) a map (I11.38) showing the kiln sites in Suffolk and 4) illustrations (I11.39-40) of various pottery kiln types in Suffolk and (I11.41) a reconstruction of a kiln.
