Abstract: |
This report presents the full analysis of the Roman building materials recovered from excavations at Chester amphitheatre between 2004-6. Although most of the material does not relate to the structure of the amphitheatre itself, it formed a major component of the occupation deposits around the building, and of the dumped material reused in the construction of the seating banks of the first amphitheatre. The assemblage demonstrates the quantity, quality and variety of building materials in use in Chester during the first three decades of the existence of the Roman fort and canabae. |
