Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Four classes of pewter dishes and plates are defined by rim-type. Pewter, which is not known in Roman Gaul, seems to be a Romano-British invention copying silver. The alloy proportions vary widely and do not form two clear-cut groups as has been suggested. Evidence from Camerton and elsewhere suggests that manufacture started about AD 250, but few pieces come from datable contexts. Distribution is confined almost entirely to south and east of Fosse Way, but does not closely agree with that of villas. The possibility of manufacture in E Anglia as well as Somerset should not be excluded, although rim types show no signs of such localised grouping; nor, so far, do they permit the establishment of a dating series. Manufacture and decoration are also discussed, and a list of all finds, inter-associations of rim types, list of decorations and of metal compositions are given. | ||||
