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 useful summary of the types of colour-coated beakers found in
Normandy dating from the latter half of the 1st century to the
end of the 2nd (or perhaps somewhat later, to judge by the
inclusion of Trier-type ‘Moselkeramik’). Chemical analyses
by the authors and others (see also entry no. 670) have
demonstrated that the colour-coated wares made at centres such
as Lezoux, the Argonne, Jaulges/Villiers-Vineux and Trier are
clealy chemically distinguishable. Examples of vessels from all
of these sources have been identified in Normandy, as well as
vessels probably from a local source. These latter are
roughcast, cornice-rimmed beakers with a greyish fabric; all
such vessels with a reddish fabric are (chemically) identified
as from the Argonne.

A detailed study of stamps on Gallo-Belgic wares found in
Normandy The majority are found to have been made either at the
workshops of the Vesle Valley (see entry no. 604) or at Vertault,
near Châtillon-sur-Seine (Côte-d’Or), although these centres
appear to have had some connections with each other. The paper
is supplemented by a number of tables detailing aspects of the
stamps and their distribution, and there is considerable
discussion of the comparative chronology and distribution of the
wares from the respective production centres, as well as on the
nature of trade in pottery during the period in question.

syn/trd/late Iron Age to end
of Roman period
"Résumé: The evidence that pottery provides for trade and
contact across the Channel between the late Iron Age and the end
of the Roman period is reviewed. The problem of distinguishing
between the regional and long distance stimuli to cross-Channel
traffic is discussed. Quantitative studies of imported wares as
a proportion of complete pottery assemblages will help to
resolve this mailer. The regional pattern becomes clearer in the
late Roman period when long distance traffic is of less
importance. Quantitative studies of BB1 and Oxfordshire ware
allow us to distinguish two main areas of contact in the later
Roman period. On the one hand there is evidence for important
links between central southern England and eastern Brittany and
western Normandy; on the other, the evidence of Oxfordshire
ware, Argonne ware and Eifelkeramik demonstrates the role of
short crossings between the mouth of the Rhine and Boulogne and
east Kent and the Thames estuary, including London. In general
we probably underestimate the importance of the links between
north-western France and southern and south-eastern England in
the Roman period." In short, an up-dated and boiled-down
version, in French, of the author’s paper in Peacock (ed.), Pottery
and Early Commerce, 1977.

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.

The central theme of the 1987 SFECAG meeting at Caen was
"Gallo-Roman and Romano-British pottery in the northwest of
the Empire: the role of Normandy between the continent and the
British Isles" (the meeting was also attended by a number
of Study Group members). Although several other papers included
here (see entry nos. 598, 623, 656 & 670) formed a part of
that discussion, this was probably the most surprising, in its
revelation of obviously substantial trade between the south of
England and Normandy in the late Roman period, continuing well
into the early Saxon period. The late Roman pottery illustrated
is entirely coarse ware, including late BB1 flaring-rimmed jars,
and imitations of BB1, probably from either Alice bit or the New
Forest, or both. There are also typical Saxon jars, with
sagging bodies and vertically-oriented bosses, as well as a
range of Saxon metalwork. The paper is only a brief summary of
the British material to be found in a number of published
reports on both cemeteries and occupation sites, mostly in
central Normandy.
