Later Prehistoric Pottery in England and Wales

This book covers prehistoric pottery in England and Wales from about 1000 BC to the later first century AD, when iron age traditions overlapped with the new Roman pottery. There is discussion of how the pottery was made and what it can tell us about the people who used it in a period before written records exist but where some of the pots are very fine, both in form and decoration. A final section deals with the practicalities of coping with the pottery as it comes from the site in small undistinctive sherds, how to deal with it and how to read specialist reports. About the author Sheila Elsdon is attached to Nottingham University Department of Classics and Archaeology as a freelance researcher writing on iron age pottery for excavation reports. She has published a study of decorated iron age pottery and one on Parisian ware (a type of Roman pottery) as well as major pottery reports in archaeological journals.Elsdon, Sheila M. is the author of 'Later Prehistoric Pottery in England and Wales' with ISBN 9780747800040 and ISBN 0747800049.
