and of a brownish colour, and contains no large grains of quartz, 

 flint, or chalk, but the clay is mixed with coarse sand of quartz and 

 other materials. Only one possible fragcaent of this quality was 

 found in the South Lodge Camp, and it is not included in the table,^ 

 Plate II., but this quality was found in an adjoining pit, and has 

 frequently been found elsewhere in association with relics of the 

 Bronze Age. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish from the 

 Romano-British pottery. It is hand-made. 



ROMAN AND ROMANO-BRITISH POTTERY. . 



Romano-British. — This is generally black or brown in colour, 

 thin, and generally without much sand, though it has occasionally 

 grains of quartz sand in its composition, but never large grains of 

 quartz or flint, or chalk. It is mostly lathe-turned, and often tooled 

 over on the outside. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish from 

 the fourth quality of British, but never has the same amount of 

 sand. This quality appears probably to have been fabricated in the 

 kilns at Bagber. 



Thin Grey. — This is both thick and thin, hard and well baked ; 

 lathe-turned, and of grey colour. It has no sand in its composition, 

 and never large grains of any kind. 



Other Roman Potteey. — This is of several kinds. The hard 

 New Forest ware is a kind of thin stone ware, generally of dark 

 brown colour, and has fluted sides. It has no sand or grains in its 

 composition, and is well baked ; quite a superior quality of pottery 

 to the Romano- British. Other fragments are softer, cream-coloured, 

 and sometimes painted red or black. It was fabricated in the New 

 Forest, where the kilns have been found. 



Red Samian. — This is the well-known glazed red pottery, that 

 was introduced from abroad and not fabricated in England. The 

 older quality of it is the finer, and of a deeper red colour. Imita- 

 tions of it were fabricated in England, but they are coarser and 

 thicker and of a lighter red. Imitation Samian passes into a kind of 

 red pottery, of which, however, no fragments were found in this camp. 



The several qualities vary in difierent parts of the country, and 

 the same table will not, therefore suffice for all localities.
