A short paper publishing pottery and glass from a 19th century
collection, with the aim of putting the material into a modern
perspective on Roman pottery found in Lower Normandy. It is not
a large amount of material, however, and it will probably be
more important for its coarse wares than for the imports: had it
been written only a year or so later, its writers would have
been unlikely to have attributed the roughcast, cornice-rimmed
beakers to Compiègne, as their own more recent research has
shown evidence both of local production and of importation
otherwise almost exclusively from the Argonne.

A short paper on ‘furrowed-rimmed’ amphorae (Peacock &
Williams Class 55) probably made in the region of Calvados,
Lower Normandy. In a triangle formed by the towns of Bayeux,
Falaise and Lisieux, these are almost omnipresent on Roman
sites. Chemical analyses show four chemically distinct groups,
although one in particular accounts for 80% of the 46 samples
analysed. There is some possibility of a link between this local
amphora production and wine production in the same region.

A listing of known pottery production centres in Normandy,
with a location map, descriptions of what was found, and a small
number of illustrations of the main vessel-types for four
centres: Saint-Martin d’Aubigny (Manche); Lisieux (Calvados);
Alençon (Orne); and Harfleur (Seine-Maritime). The illustrated
pottery includes rouletted beakers, but is otherwise of
relatively local interest. Includes a useful bibliography.

A brief study of the
distribution of BB1 in Normandie. The dating evidence suggests
that it is occurring mainly from the 4th century onwards. There
is no BB2, and some pieces handled at Caen by this contributor
seem more likely to be products of Alice Holt/Farnham or the New
Forest, and this might include nos. 5 and 6 on fig 2 in this
paper, although the rest of the material is obviously genuine
BB1. This material is surely an illustration of the fact that
Normandie and Brittany, along with Britain, do not seem to have
suffered the same sort of economic decline in the 4th and early
5th centuries as the rest of Gaul, and one must wonder if this
might have been due, at least in part, to the role of continued
cross-Channel trade involving these regions.
