Central Gaulish granite-tempered ware :

Camulodunum type 262, le type Besançon and Central Gaulish granite-tempered ware

Site name	Champlieu
location	FR 60-Oise
museum	Musée des Antiquités Nationales, Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Paris)
Typology	Cam 262
Description	Tuffreau-Libre illustrates a jar of form C262 from Champlieu in the Forêt de Compiègne, described as `pâte fine orangée à dégraissant non visible, bien cuite', with a micaceous slip on the rim and shoulder. This is clearly not TF1, but a finer wheel-thrown ware. Mme Tuffreau-Libre considers the vessel to be `local' but the alternative of an origin amongst the industries of Central Gaul could be considered.
