| Description |
Langouet draws attention to the
micaceous moulded-rim jars
from the important Late Iron Age and early Roman site
at Alet-St.Servan.
The jars,
perhaps ten in number,
include examples of form C262.
They were mostly recovered from the `couche gauloise',
and are described as `micacée et non tournée',
the colour varying from pink to black.
The petrological samples demonstrate that the
jars from Alet
include examples in both TF1 (
B20,
B21,
B22,
B24,
B27)
and other wares (
B23,
B26).
The assemblage from Alet
includes sherds of Pompeian red ware,
samian,
(Langouet 1978, Pl.E),
and Dressel 1 amphoras,
both variants A and B
(Sanquer 1978).
However,
it is not possible to reconstruct
the detailed stratigraphic associations
of the micaceous jars.
