| Description |
From Augsburg-Oberhausen
there is one example of a jar of form C262
(FIG.16, 14).
The fabric is described as `Ton braun,
grob,
mit kleinen Steinchen gemagert.
Oberfläche rauh,
Goldglimmerzusatz.'
Perhaps these `small stones'
are feldspars,
and this jar may be in TF1.
Wells (1972, 87-89)
suggests that the site was occupied by a small fort
rather than a fortress,
perhaps founded before the end of the first century BC.
The site has certainly
yielded Service Ib and Ic sigillata
but the material published by
Ulbert need not form a closed assemblage.
The presence of Central Gaulish coarse wares as far east as
Augsburg-Oberhausen might at first sight seem unlikely, but one might
point to other vessels published by Ulbert as evidence of links with the
same region. This includes four round-bodied bowls of the `type
Roanne' (Ulbert 1960, Taf.14,18-21). Of the 12 Italian-type sigillata
stamps catalogued in
CVA2
(Oxe, Comfort & Kenrick 2000), seven are from Lyon
potters.
