This extensive report on the excavations of the Roman auxiliary fort at Neath, West Glamorgan commences with `The 1958 excavations' by Brenda Heywood (171--83. ) It is concluded that a timber fort dating to the Flavian period was superseded, after a possible short abandonment, by a stone structure of Trajanic or Hadrianic date. The occupation of which may have lasted up until the Antonine period. Reports on `The samian ware' by Grace Simpson (183--9), `The coarse pottery' by Peter Webster (189--96), `The glass finds' by Dorothy Charlesworth and J Price (196--9) and `The metalwork' by George Boon (199--201) are included. Further excavation took place in 1984, 1985 and 1989, when various buildings, roads, ramparts and walls were examined. This work is summarised by A G Marvell (201--44. ) `The coins' are described by S H Sell (244), `Bronze mirrors' (245--6) and `Objects of bronze' (246--9) by G Lloyd-Morgan, `An iron dagger scabbard' (249--50) by I Scott, `An iron signet ring' (250--2) by M Henig and `Objects of iron' (252--5) by M Dawson. Anonymous notes are included on `Objects of lead' (255), `A pipeclay figurine' (256) and `The samian ware' (256--62). Brenda Dickinson comments on `The stamped samian ware' (262--3), D R Evans on `The coarse pottery' (263--76), including a note on a Firmalampe of Gaulish origin by Donald Bailey (271). D Brennan comments on `The glass' (276--83), J Parkhouse on `Stone artefacts' (283--5) and the `Worked bone and shale objects' by S Greep (285--8). In the `Discussion' (288--92) A G Marvell summarises the major periods of activity, proposing that the first fort was founded c 75 to c 80 with a second fort constructed between c 80 and c 90, lasting until c 110--115. A short period of abandonment followed with re-occupation c 117 to 120--125 when the fort was consolidated in stone. Further phases of activity took place between c 140 and c 170 and again between c 275 and c 320. | ||||||||||||||||
