Abstract

This article reports a study of the distribution of Romano-British coarse wares in southern England. The term coarse wares, as used here, includes all wares except colour-coated or painted fabrics, samian and mortaria. These coarse wares were examined in the hope that a detailed study would provide some information about local marketing processes, or at least indicate what was the maximum amount of information that could be obtained from existing pottery-distributions by the methods employed. An area was chosen, the south and west, where a large number of site collections have been recovered. Pottery from as many sites as possible in museums and private collections was examined with the aim of finding exceptionally distinctive types whose distributions could be reliably plotted and whose percentages in each assemblage counted.
