A Mortarium Bibliography for Roman Britain
KF Hartley and R Tomber with P Webster, 2006
Overview
Two electronic resources are available: an integrated bibliography and the database. These can be found here on the ADS web site and on the web site of the Study Group for Roman Pottery (SGRP).
Integrated Bibliography
In the published text the bibliography is divided into 12 separate regions, as well as supplementary chapters; the integrated bibliography combines all references cited in the text, excluding those restricted to Chapter 15. Wales. To avoid a bibliography consisting mostly of `Hartley' references for any given year, the main author of the published work is used as the primary citation, with the sub-author noted afterwards, eg:
Aitken, G M, and Aitken, G N, 1990 Excavations at West Whitcombe, 1965-1967, Proc Dorset Natur Hist Archaeol Soc 112, 57-94, Somerset, South-West, JRPS 1038: Skinner, C, 'The pottery,' 79-86
In publications where the main text and pottery report are written by the same author/s, only the main author and title are cited; the title and pages for the pottery section are not separately listed. In cases where a single report contains more than one section referring to mortaria they are listed separately; thus there are frequently multiple entries for single publications. The style of integrated or synthetic reports can make the attribution of authorship of individual contributions difficult: we apologise for any omissions of this nature. County and Region (or where more appropriate Country) and the Journal of Roman Pottery Studies (JRPS) bibliographic reference (see also JRPS volumes and the SGRP web site) are also listed here.
Computerised Database
An abbreviated version of the information collected on pro forma, comprising those fields thought to provide the core information, is available in digital format from the downloads page. Each reference was recorded on pro forma and computerised, apart from the majority of those whose citation is restricted to Chapters 1-3, and 15 of the printed version. Rare entries in the database are not on Tables 3-13 (which list the number of illustrations per reference for each region). These exceptions are coded in the database as `Romano-British' (RB) in the field where county is normally indicated, and their host chapter is given instead of a region.
