Abstract:		 In an extended model for maritime trade with Atlantic Britain and Ireland in post-Roman times, two `phases' are postulated. Phase one involves long-distance imports of amphorae, accompanied by fine red slip-wares and glass, from the Mediterranean. Phase two, perhaps rooted in 4th-5th century contact with Gaul, is best seen in the late 6th-7th century, and marked by widespread importation of `Class E', a kitchen-ware of continuing Gallo-Roman appearance. It is suggested that this was ancillary to a vigorous trade of Gaulish wine in barrels, not archaeologically evidenced; literary references are adduced. Possible witnesses to Insular contact with Merovingian or Frankish Gaul are examined. Actual Frankish mercenaries serving abroad are seen as likely, with a range of British and Irish finds of ornaments and weapons that, while seen generally as `Germanic', may be Frankish rather than Anglo-Saxon and so support this hypothesis. Despite years of sporadic searching, the production centre for Class E pottery remains unlocated; re-affirming a belief that it lies in north-central France, ideas for further work conclude the paper.
