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.

Soubran and Petit-Niort are twin villages which lie almost
exactly halfway between Bordeaux and Saintes. This is a study of
two recently identified pottery production centres at a distance
of some four kilometres apart, which appear to have produced
similar series of coarse tablewares, but which seem to have
co-operated in the marketing of their products. The two
illustrated ranges of wares are not identical, but at both sites
one of the most important products was a large pinched-mouthed
flagon, and both series also include cornice-rimmed, bag-shaped
beakers. A section on chemical analyses of the fabrics shows
that they are chemically separable, although visually this is
often not the case. It was the results of the analyses which
led, therefore, to the realisation that the marketing of the
respective series was not competitive, since Petit-Niort
products are found at Saintes and elsewhere in Saintonge, while
