Later Romano-British pottery production in context : Crambeck ware and its landscape setting
Pottery is an ever-present aspect in the study of Roman Britain, although the focus is frequently on distribution, decoration and the location of kilns. The landscape of production is therefore often a neglected aspect of pottery studies. This thesis examines the late Romano-British Crambeck pottery industry with an emphasis on its surrounding landscape. It suggests that such industries need to be considered in their landscape settings before processes of trade and distribution can be fully understood. It argues the need to contextualise the process of production through an understanding of the character of landscape use and scale of the production site(s).
