Notes:

All the vessels listed occur in South Gaulish fabric.

  1. See discussion of this group elsewhere in this report (Section 7.3.5).
  2. This appears to be part of a structured deposit (Willis 1997a).
  3. The sample comes from a ditch; this deposit could be related to military occupation at this time; 8 intrusive items have been removed from this calculation.
