Journal of Roman Pottery Studies Volume 15

This volume of JRPS carries a broad range of papers reflecting the detailed ongoing scholarship in the field of Roman pottery studies. There is a marked international dimension to the eleven papers. In part, this simply follows from the extensive geography of the Roman Empire and its influence, yet it also reflects the identification of the Journal of Roman Pottery Studies as a leading vehicle for the publication of quality research in Roman ceramics not only from Roman Britain but from the whole of the Roman Empire. Also includes an editorial, book reviews and obituaries.Table of Contents1. Beyond the confines of empire: a reassessment of the Roman coarse wares from Traprain Law 1 (Louisa Campbell) 2.
