The Lexden tumulus includes a well-documented collection of Italian amphoras of types Dressel 1b and Dressel 2-4, but there is also a small quantity of finer pottery. Some of this is local but there is one vessel (Rigby in Foster 1986, 118-120, Fig.37,3) similar in form to Cam. type 102. The thin-section report (by Dr I.Freestone) notes that the fabric contains a silt-size quartz. Although clearly not assignable to the `Standard Fabric' this jar could still be of Gaulish origin and, if so, this suggests that the form was produced in more than one area by c.15|BC, which is the suggested date of the Lexden burial.
