Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Paper reprinted from a recent festschrift (see also 94/1224) concerning stone artefact groups particular to western Cornwall. It is intended to present data on sub-groups within Dumnonia, and to consider how the population of an isolated area adapted Roman artefacts for their own requirements within a social framework that was sufficiently stable to provide a continuum into the fifth and sixth centuries. Also, additional knowledge may be brought to bear on the interpretation of such objects when found outside Cornwall. Dumnonia is seen here as a complex of archaeologically distinguishable rural communities rather than as a single entity.Mortars (Cornish mortars), larger bowls (Trethurgy bowls), weights, and a miscellaneous group (mostly moulds) are listed and their distinctive features and fabrics noted. Further classes may yet be identified. It is concluded that the Dumnonian adaptation of Roman artefacts may represent an acceptance and adaptation of that which fitted the existing social practice, thus producing and promoting a society stable enough to continue long after the apparent decline of Romano-British culture. There is a `Gazetteer' (40-3) of artefacts. IH | |||||
