"All the pre-4th century wares were residual"; the pottery was
"sorted into fabric groups following the Gloucester City Excavation
Unit Type Fabric Series". (Note: listed in a volume to be covered in JRPS

new (BB1-type) one, 226, which was previously unknown.

Discusses the Pan Sand (Thames Estuary) amphora find in 1983. The amphora is
a ‘London 555’ type. There is a discussion of the vessel and its
contents.
RPS writes: ‘London 555’ is a new designation for the amphora type
presented in this paper, which was coined by the authors, who named it after
a complete example now in the Museum of London which was published by R E M
Wheeler in 1930 (London in Roman Times, London Museum Catalogues,
No.3) in which it was no. 5 on Plate 55. (Cf also Sealey, P R, Amphoras
from the 1970 Excavations at Colchester, Sheepen, Brit Archaeol Rep Brit
Ser 142, 1985, 167-8; JRPS2, entry no. 235). It must be said that
there is a minor controversy regarding both the naming and the origin of
this amphora type: it seems that the recognition of this type as a separate,
identifiable form must have happened almost simultaneously among a group of
French and Swiss researchers, who immediately observed that it was not only
clearly distinct from the well-known Baetican form which is designated ‘Haltem
70’, but also that the fabric of examples found in the Rhône Valley
region and in Switzerland is very similar to that of amphorae made locally.
There is, furthermore, an example published by Paunier (La Céramique
Gab-Romaine de Genève, 1981, 236) with the stamp SOLIT, examples of
which are known to occur on both the type described by Dangréaux &
Desbat 1988 (below, entry no. 958) as ‘Dressel 9 similis’ and on the
type known on the continent as Gauloise 4 (here often described as Pélichet
47). (A photograph of the Wheeler type example is also used by Peacock &
Williams to illustrate their Class 59 - JRPS 2, entry no. 368 - but they are silent with regard to its origin). The continental researchers
label the type ‘Haltern 70 simiis’. It may yet be shown that this is one
of the rare amphora types, like Dressel forms 1 and 2-4, which was
produced almost identically in more than one region, and Sealey & Tyers
present a detailed argument based on the similarity in the style of
epigraphy found on

case for a Baetican origin must remain weak while no examples have been positively identified in
southern Spain.

Editor’s note: This is a new section, in which we list book
reviews of volumes relating to Roman pottery. Unlike the
section on scientific analyses, below, we do not intend to
expand entries of this type in future, since most of the volumes reviewed
will also be covered in the Bibliography. In this first instalment, however,
we list a number of reviews dating as far back as 1982/3, in alphabetical
order of book authors’ names.
