Notes:

DNA (under Sample Size) denotes that Data was Not Available.

i. Quantification by EVE in these cases is evidently by rim only (RE). Identifiably residual rim sherds (that is items belonging to a vessel first represented in an earlier period) were excluded from the calculations relating to these groups by the reporter (Taylor 1991, 369).

ii. Quantification by EVE in these cases is evidently by rim only (RE); procedural details are not stated in this report, though it seems likely given the quantities of pottery documented by count and weight, that only rims have been measured; moreover measurement of rims only was the method followed by the same author in the contemporary companion report (Taylor 1991, 336).

iii.Deposits comprising fire debris from major fire dating to the early Hadrianic period; calculations may include amphorae.

iv. Late group with apparently very high residual content of samian, included here for comparative purposes.

v. In this case the data relate to EVE measurements evidently including both rims and bases.

vi. May include a re-deposited element.
