  • How to cite using this DOI
  • Digital Object Identifiers

    Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are persistent identifiers which can be used to consistently and accurately reference digital objects and/or content. The DOIs provide a way for the ADS resources to be cited in a similar fashion to traditional scholarly materials. More information on DOIs at the ADS can be found on our help page.

    Citing this DOI

    DOIs should be the last element in a citation irrespective of the format used. The DOI citation should begin with "doi:" in lowercase followed by the DOI with no spaces between the ":" and the DOI.

    doi:10.5284/1000098

    DOIs can also be cited as a persistent link from another Web page. This is done by appending the DOI Resolver with the DOI. This would look like:

    http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000098

    However, if it is possible it is best to hide the URL in the href property of the <a> tag and have the link text be of the form doi:10.5284/1000098. The HTML for this would look like:

    <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000098">doi:10.5284/1000098</a>

Introduction

The purpose of this mortarium bibliography is to collate the disparate literature on mortaria in order to make it more accessible to pottery specialists and other interested individuals. Undertaken principally between 1995 and 1998, with some updating in 2001 and 2004, the resulting bibliography is essentially, but not totally, comprehensive for the last thirty years. Earlier reports and monographs of particular importance were included, but much interesting earlier material had to be omitted. In addition to the bibliographic reference, set information was recorded on pro forma for each reference with illustrated profiles of mortaria.

For additional explanation of the purpose and the resulting database, see Chapter 1. Introduction, of Hartley, KF and Tomber, R inpress A Mortarium Bibliography for Roman Britain, Journal of Roman Pottery Studies 13.

The initiative for this project, and funding, came from English Heritage, with additional funding made available from Historic Scotland and the Museum of London. We are grateful to them for their support throughout the project.
