Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavation at the supposed Roman camp at Bolham, Tiverton, between 1981 and 1986, proved the site to be that of a single-ditched turf and timber fort. Total excavation of the west gate showed it to have been completely rebuilt and remodelled at some time during the period of use of the fort. The likely nature of the superstructure of the gate is discussed. A good assemblage of imported and Romano-British pottery allows the occupation of the site to be dated between c AD 65 and c AD 85--90. A significant quantity of worked flint was retrieved both from residual contexts in the fort levels and from primary pre-fort deposits. This material, together with a small quantity of pottery of Bronze Age character, suggests occupation of a domestic character dating to the earlier second millennium bc. Mesolithic material was also present. Specialist reports include `Prehistoric activity at Bolham' by A G Brown (57--61), `Samian pottery' by Brian Hartley (61--7), `The Gallo-Belgic imports' by Valery Rigby (67), `Mortaria' by Kay Hartley (67), `The coarse pottery' by Neil Holbrook (67--77), `Intaglii' by Martin Henig (77--9), a section detailing other stone artefacts, `Glass' by J Price (80--1), copper alloy `Brooches' by D F Mackreth (81--2), other copper alloy objects, lead and ironwork, `The examination of iron smelting and smithing residues and related material' by Paul Budd (86--9), details of other metallurgical debris, `Pollen analysis' by J Hatton (92--4), and finally `Bone' by Sue Browne (95). | |||||||||||||||||||||
