| Abstract: |
Recent excavations on second century AD Antonine frontier forts of the Midland Scottish valley suggest that the army was making its own pottery on an appreciable scale, at a time when pottery production was thought to have moved almost exclusively into civilian hands. A program of neutron activation, thin section and textural analyses was intended to define and provenance the site ware groups and a group of specialist vessels thought to be local to Scotland, the mortaria. Site ware groups were successfully defined at `intra' and `inter' site levels and the analyses also furnished interpretations of the nature of site production, with contrasting production modes identified with military as opposed to civilian production. |
