| Description |
Eight of the illustrated jars are
described as `Central Gaulish ware'
and assigned to
Camulodunum
type 102/262
(Potter and Trow 1988, Fig.47,19-23, Fig.51,80-82).
A thin-section report on one of these vessels (Fig.47,19)
by D.F.Williams (
ibid.,
133)
records `.. frequent flecks of mica,
mostly muscovite with a little biotite,
subangular grains of quartz,
a scatter of colourless or pale green augite,
a little brown hornblende and
some plagioclase or potash felspar'.
The parallel with
Fabric 1
at Skeleton Green is noted
and this too should
probably be related to the `Standard Fabric' of
Rigby and Freestone.
The report also includes a commentary on the
Gaulish imports by V.Rigby
and a tabulated comparison between the Central Gaulish
imports at Skeleton Green and Braughing
(Rigby in Potter and Trow 1988, 110-112, table 11).
The table illustrates a number of the difficulties that have
grown up in the British literature on these imports.
Rigby draws an contrast between the
Fabric 1/Standard Fabric
and includes the moulded-rim jars of
Cam.102,
and a second group,
here described as
Fabric 2/Williams 1: rock tempered ware
which comprises moulded-rim jars of the
Cam.
variety.
Williams fabric 1 at Skeleton Green
should be linked with the `Standard Fabric'
rather than any `rock-tempered ware',
which sounds more like a reference to our TF1.
It is unclear from this exactly what
Fabric 2
refers to.
