| Abstract: |
Re-assesses the work of Dr Felix Oswald on the Oswald-Plicque Collection of samian pottery, now at the Museum of Archaeology, Durham. The history of the collection and its importance to samian specialists is discussed, while a brief account is given of the collection's organisation before and after arriving in Durham. Oswald's classifications and his identification of various potters are critically examined, with the conclusion that there are many incorrect attributions and that the classification is over ambitious, being influenced by l9th century thinking. It is suggested that some references from Oswald's Index of Figure Types on Terra Sigillata (1936--7) should be treated with caution. |
