Typology
Description It is reasonably clear that TF1, or any other vessels in the moulded-rim style, are not a significant component of the Lyon ceramic assemblage, or indeed on any site further south. The principal early Roman coarse ware jar from Lyon displays a horizontally rilled neck (e.g. Goudineau ed. 1989, fig.66,16, fig.71,75, fig.74,37, fig.76,8) which is clearly derived from the style of jar current on pre-conquest sites in the region such as Vienne (Chapotat 1970, pl.XLVII). However, M. Philip Thirion of the Direction Régionale des Antiquités Historiques de Rhône-Alpes informs the writer that there are be a few sherds from recently excavated sites in Lyon which may be compared with le type Besançon. These have not been examined.
