A HISTORY OF BUCKINGHAMSHIRE 



no complete articles were found, and none were large enough for the investigators to 

 distinguish the shape, size, and ornamentation of the vessels to which they belonged. Among 

 them were several fragments of amphorae of large size, in coarse light red ware, and 

 of mortaria, one of which was roughened with iron scoriae. There was only one piece of 

 Samian ware. One fragment of a crucible of blacklead ware like those used by metallurgists, 

 was found. A few pieces of glass were found, yellower in colour than the usual Roman glass. 

 In addition to these antiquities thirty-nine coins were discovered, singly distributed throughout 

 the field, ranging in date from Elagabalus (A.D. 218-22) to Theodosius (A.D. 379-95). 

 WAVENDON HEATH. An amphora was found in a sand-pit [Lysons, Bucks. 483].
