“…Both routes quickly became formalised as trunk roads for commerce and the army. Despite the lack of a garrison, although there are plenty of marching camps in the vicinity, Scotch Corner presumably hosted high military and civil officials (Bishop 2005). The presence of metalworking artisans and other craftspeople had probably elevated the site above the customary huddle of farmsteads and further drew Roman officials' attention to the area.…”

This article examines the similarities and differences in the charcoal assemblage recovered from indigenous (pre-contact) roadside settlements, the Roman arrival and their subsequent occupation of the region. Samples taken from various archaeological features which form part of the surrounding system of strip fields, structures bordering a road junction, an industrial quarter and a vicus are investigated for remnants of fuel, craft and construction. Temporal and spatial changes in composition are interpreted as the result of pressure on firewood supply due to settlement developments and reorganisation. The recovered charcoal assemblage is mostly the product of deposition of those taxa that are most numerous on site -due to their usefulness as fuel or in construction. The distinct proportion of less common taxa in mature stands -lime, elm and maple -evince opportunistic foraging of fuel from beyond the usual firewood collection range as well as local manufacture of tools and use in carpentry.Key words: anthracology, Roman Britain, wood exploitation, roadside settlement. Resumen:En este artículo se analizan las similitudes y diferencias en el registro antracológico entre los niveles indígenas (pre-contacto) y aquellos resultantes a partir de la presencia romana en un yacimiento situado junto a una vía de comunicación. Las muestras, vinculadas a su uso como combustible, trabajos artesanales y constructivos, se han tomado de diferentes espacios arqueológicos, que formaban parte del sistema de campos circundantes, de las estructuras que limitaban el cruce de caminos, de un área industrial y de un vicus. Los cambios espaciales y temporales identificados en el registro se interpretan en relación a la presión para la obtención de leña, provocada por el desarrollo del asentamiento y su reorganización. El conjunto de carbones recuperado es resultado, mayoritariamente, de la deposición de aquellos taxa más abundantes debido a su uso como leña y en la construcción. La distinta proporción de aquellos taxa menos comunes -tilo, olmo y arceevidencian prácticas oportunísticas de obtención de leña, así como su uso para la fabricación de utensilios y en labores de carpintería.

This paper reports the discovery through aerial photography of a Roman fort at Thirkleby, near Thirsk in North Yorkshire. It appears to have two structural phases, and surface finds indicate that it dates from the Flavian period. The significance of its location on the intersection of routes north–south along the edge of the Vale of York and east–west connecting Malton and Aldborough is discussed in the context of Roman annexation of the North.

Geophysical survey at Llanfor, near Bala, revealed two temporary camps and a large wooden fort in exceptional detail. The camps are assumed to be evidence of an early Flavian invasion force. The fort, which contained a garrison that probably comprised a complete ala of auxiliary cavalry and a cohort of legionaries, is interpreted as a short-lived campaign base that existed during the transition between invasion and consolidated occupation. Parallels are drawn between Llanfor and similar forts in Britain and Germany.
