| Description |
From G.C.Boons's 1954-59 excavations at Silchester
there is a fine example of
Cam.
type 262
(Boon 1969, fig.15,167)
in fabric TF1
(confirmed by thin-section:
B1).
The same context includes examples of jars
and flagons in Rigby and Freestone's `Standard Fabric'
(Boon 1969, nos. 165, 168;
Rigby and Freestone 1986, 11, 14).
These vessels are probably from a Tiberio-Claudian context.
The 1980-86 excavations on the Basilica site have
yielded large assemblages of Augustan and Tiberian date.
Moulded-rim jars,
including examples of C262 in TF1,
form a small but significant element of these groups,
accompanied by a range of
Central Gaulish flagons and other fine wares
(information from Dr. Jane Timby).
