“…Ever since 1949 the Odontological Museum has possessed the skeletal remains of 20 individuals excavated at an Anglo-Saxon burial site at Breedon-on-the-Hill in Leicestershire (Kenyon 1950). They were presented by Dr Kathleen M Kenyon who directed the excavations.…”

“…A laterally restricted part of the wall was selected at most sites ('local' sample), but in a few cases sampling was conducted over the extent of the whole or a major part of the exposed structure ('overall' sample). Given that in most cases the blocks are 8 Hinchliffe and Green 1985;Allen et al 2001;2003;Allen 2004. 9 Fulford and Tyers 1995. to some degree irregular, and that conservation work had been carried out, it was not considered possible in the fi eld to measure their dimensions to any closer than the nearest centimetre.…”

Masonry facing at 31 widely scattered sites was characterised by the comparative lithometric analysis of the linear dimensions, apparent areas and apparent proportions of random samples of 50 exposed building blocks. Typically, block length lies between three-quarters and one Roman foot and height from one-third to one-half of a foot. The mean proportions of blocks vary with the type of stone and range from 1.50 to 2.54, with 'military' builders tending to prefer low length:height ratios and stone that fractured in much the same way regardless of direction relative to the bedding (i.e. isotropic, near-isotropic). The evidence suggests that the choice of general-purpose stone and proportions by 'military' and 'non-military' builders varied over time with changing circumstances. Both kinds of builder seem to have been least selective in the late fi rst and early second centuries A.D. and again in the late third and early fourth centuries.

“…Pompeian Red Ware is a distinctive class of Roman-Period pottery that has been studied by numerous scholars over the past century (Loeschcke, 1909(Loeschcke, , 1912Ritterling, 1913;Kenyon, 1948Kenyon, , 1957Boon, 1967;De Laet and Thoen, 1969;Goudineau, 1970;Vegas, 1973;Peacock, 1977;Negev, 1986). The principle forms under study are shown in Figure 2; at Caesarea Maritima this is the cooking pan (or platter) and its lid.…”

A program of ceramic analysis, by which archaeologically excavated pottery can be efficiently and economically grouped by fabric and geographic origin, has been devised. the fabric is segregated by xeroradiography, macroscopic observation, and heavy‐mineral analysis before it is identified petrologically. the program has enabled determination of the effects of certain aspects of trade patterns and economics on life in the ancient city of Roman‐Period Caesarea Maritima. This program was tested on an 84‐sherd corpus of Pompeian Red Ware. Xeroradiography, heavy‐mineral analysis, and petrology each segregated the sherds into two fabrics, one of which contained 83 sherds. This latter fabric had not been reported in earlier studies of Pompeian Red Ware which concentrated on samples from England and Europe. However, the similarities between this new fabric and another known fabric suggest that the Caecuban and Falernian regions west of Terracina and east of Capua should be the source of this ware. an astonishing result was that other known fabrics were not found at Caesarea Maritima. A potential chronological hypothesis was formulated to account for this observation.
