A lengthy and mainly scientific study of the products, both fine
and coarse, of a group of workshops just north of Bordeaux, as
well as the pottery imported into the region. This is among the
most thorough reports yet published on the application of
chemical analysis, in this case X-ray fluorescence analysis, to
the study of Roman pottery. The pottery types could well include
some which are found in small quantities in Britain; the
analysis is discussed in detail and illustrated by many diagrams
and tables, and clearly a good effort has been made to relate
the information derived from the analysis back to the pottery
from which the samples were taken. Available through Oxbow
Books. See also the review by D P S Peacock in Britannia 18.

This is a brief discourse on the nature of amphorae, mainly of
the flat-bottomed variety, made at Saintes and elsewhere in the
Bordelaise region. While the material includes some locally-made
versions of Dr 2-4, it is mainly composed of Gauloise 5 and
Gauloise 3/5 amphorae, which are relatively small flat-bottomed
vessels with fairly broad flat rims. Because small flagon-sized
and somewhat larger, medium-sized versions occur as well as the
amphora-sized vessels, Berthault is troubled by the definition
of what ought to be called a flagon, and what ought to be an 'amphorette'
or an amphora. Although his division of the same form into three
separate sizes, effectively 'small', 'medium' and 'large', is
based on a series of precise measurements, in the discussion
which followed the paper both F Laubenheimer and A Michaud point
out that his number of measureable samples was extremely small,
and many vessels of intermediate sizes also appear to have been
made. Since there is no direct evidence as to the contents,
Berthault also appears to suggest in the discussion that these
amphorae - and amphorettes and flagons - might have been used
for garum or olive oil instead of wine, unlikely as that might
seem.

This is a collection of twenty-one papers presented at a Round
Table held at Metz on October 4th-6th, 1990. These probably all
deserve separate Bibliography entries, but for JRPS 5 there
is space and time only for the following summary of titles (with
the exception of the paper by A P Fitzpatrick, which we include
as entry no. 1223): The volume is divided into three sections,
entitled 'Production, new evidence', "The distribution of
amphorae', and 'Databanks and analyses', and the first two of
these are followed by sections of general debate (tape-recorded
at the meeting), on pp 113-5 and 207-218, respectively. A number
of the individual papers are also followed by transcripts of the
discussions which followed their presentation. Laubenheimer, F,
with Gébara, C & Béraud, I, 'Production d'amphores a Fréjus',
15-24. With an appendix by M Picon. See also entry no. 1220, and
the second paper by the same authors in the same volume, below.
A considerable range of types was produced at Fréjus, including
a Dr 16 found at Winchester Palace in London, with painted
inscription indicating that it contained wine (Liquamen
Excellens) from Antibes - but the analyses by M Picon show
the vessel was probably made at Fréjus.
Meffre, J-C & P, 'L'atelier augustéen
d'amphores et de céramiques de Sainte-Cécile-les Vignes (Vaucluse)',
25-35. Situated between Orange and Vaison-la-Romaine, this site
produced imitations of Dr 2-4 and of Pascual 1, and Gauloise 2
and Gauloise 10 amphorae.
Dangréaux, B, Desbat, A, Picon, M & Schmitt,
A, 'La production d'amphores à Lyon', 37-50. With an appendix
on scientific analyses. This is an updating of JRPS 4,
entry no. 958.
Martin-Kilcher, S, 'La fabrication d'amphores
vinaires Dressel 2-4 a Augusta Rauricorum (Augst, Suisse) et le
début de la viticulture au Nord des Alpes', 51-8. Augst
produced its own versions of Dr 2-4, not dissimilar from those
made at Mougon (Indre-et-Loire) and at Brockley Hill.
Baudoux, J, 'Production d'amphores dans 1'Est de la
Gaule', 59-69. Several East Gaulish production centres,
including Rheinzabern, seem to have produced either imitations
of Dr 20 amphorae, globular Dr 20-like amphorae with flat
bottoms, or Gaulish-type amphorae. The Rheinzabern Dr 20
imitations are stamped with names which also appear on samian
from the site. This paper provoked a lengthy discussion on the
organisation of pottery workshops in Gaul. Schallmayer, E,
'Production d'amphores en Germanie Supérieure?', 71-4. Similar
types to those of the previous paper, Walldurn, on the limes.
Laubenheimer, F & Lequoy, M-C, 'Les
amphores Gauloise 12 de Normandie. Le matériel de la nécropole
de Vatteville-la Rue', 75-92. With an appendix by F Formenti.
This is a substantial updating of what is known of Gauloise 12s,
small reeded-rimmed amphorae from Normandie. The distribution
map shows almost as many points in Britain as in northern Gaul.
