Pottery in Roman Britain Guy de la Bédoyère 0 7478 0469 9 (Shire Archaeology 79) 72 pp, 52 ills. Roman sites in Britain produce huge quantities of pottery, often overwhelming the archaeologist. Despite the problems involved in processing it, pottery can provide a vast amount of information about technology, trade, communications, wealth, industry and lifestyle. This book looks at how pottery was made and circulated and how pottery can be useful to archaeologists. It goes on to look at the different types of wares that existed in the four centuries of Roman Britain. The wide range of illustrations makes the book invaluable to students and to archaeologists. Guy de la Bédoyère has degrees in archaeology and history from Durham University, the University of London and the Institute of Archaeology. He has presented a series on Roman Britain for BBC Radio 4, and also one for BBC2, as well as making a number of appearances on Channel 4’s popular archaeology series Time Team.
