Typology Cam 262
Description Stuart's type 306 is a moulded-rim jar with a micaceous slip. Two examples are listed in the catalogue (Stuart 1977, 88), II i 43 (from Grafveld E, ibid., Fig.56,7 - illustrated here FIG.16,3) and II f 59 (Grafveld O). There is another similar vessel from Grafveld O in the G.M.Kam Museum (II i 44, here FIG.16, 2). The jars II i 43 and II i 44 are wheel-thrown, the fabrics orange or grey-brown and micaceous or with a micaceous slip on the shoulder - these are not TF1. Cemeteries O and E contain burials dating from the Augustan period until the end of the first century AD (ibid.,|71-3). Stuart cites Oberaden type 101, Camulodunum type 262 and the vessels from Haltern, and Neuss as parallels for the Nijmegen series.

There are also two moulded-rim jars from the Augustan Kopesplateau site (Giebels 1973, pl.XVIII, 6-7), one of which (FIG.16,4) has mica and a black sand in the fabric, but this is not in TF1.
