Two types of mica-gilt/dusted pottery found in the Paris region are presented, one called "Besancon" ware, and the other simply mica-gilt ware. The former ware, known to have been made at Besançon, is mainly decorated with gold mica, but may also appear with silver mica. Whereas "Besançon" ware occurs in a relatively limited range of forms - jars, beakers and reeded-rimmed bowls and bowl/jars - the mica-gilt wares occur in a much wider range, and probably originate at a considerable number of sources. This conclusion is also confirmed in the petrological analysis presented in the abridged version of the paper (entry no. 1212); in this version a larger number of forms are illustrated.

An abridged version of entry no. 1211, with fewer illustrated forms, but including petrological analyses, which separate the two wares into three and four identifiable fabrics, respectively. All of the illustrated forms in this paper also appear in entry no. 1211.

This paper defines a rather terra nigra-like pottery type, a reddish fabric with black surfaces, found mainly in the region surrounding Paris. It differs from terra nigra in the wide range of forms in which it occurs, including bottles, flagons, narrow- and wide-mouthed jars, and lids. There are obvious parallels with 1st-century fine grey /black wares made at Colchester, London, and other sites in southeastern Britain. Thin section analysis suggests that this fabric with a clay derived from the Fontainebleau sands, although no production centre has so far been specifically associated with any of the three fabrics identified. (It would appear that as with entry no. 1212, this is also a repeat of an earlier paper, in this case a paper having an identical title in Cahiers de la Rotonde, 14, 1991).
