Site name Description Alise-Sainte-Reine There are three examples of the C262 form on display in the site museum in 1980, two in orange micaceous wheel-thrown wares (one with a micaceous slip or wash on the rim and shoulder) and the third in an undistinguished coarse lumpy grey ware. In addition, Ferdière records additional examples of le type Besançon a private collection. Baubigny Ferdière records examples of le type Besançon from unpublished excavations at this site. Glanon Amongst the pottery from Glanon on view at the Congress of the Association Française pour L'Etude de L'Age du Fer held at Rully in 198# was a moulded-rim jar similar to C262 in form. The fabric included much feldspar and a little mica, but it was not typical TF1. Mâlain Roussel illustrates a number of large moulded-rim jars which may belong to the categories considered here, but the fabric descriptions are inconclusive. Amongst the Mâlain material on exhibition in Dijon museum (in 1979) there were examples of our class 1, apparently in TF1. Although there may be pre-Augustan occupation at Mâlain, the majority of the reported finds are probably later in date. Nuits-Saint-Georges, Les Bolards A single jar of C262 type is illustrated from the Les Bolards cemetery, from a Claudio-Neronian context. There is no fabric description. Vertault Three jars of form C262 from Vertault were on exhibition in Chatillon-sur-Seine Museum in 1991. Several fabrics are represented. One is in a grey wheel-thrown ware, rather lumpy in texture and superficially rather similar in appearance to a vessel from nearby Alesia. The second is in a wheel-thrown coarse orange-brown fabric with traces of a micaceous slip on the upper part of the body. The last is rather finer than the others, with a micaceous wash on the rim and shoulder, but rather unevenly finished on the lower part of the body. Rigby and Freestone (1986,14) note one possible example of a jar in their `Standard Fabric' (our TF2) on display in this museum from Vertault. This is presumably a reference to the third vessel described above, but any such attribution must be considered tentative before the vessels can be examined in more detail.
