combination of Late Celtic survivals.'" 
Rustic f linear ornamentation of Late Celtic origin is common 
to all kinds of coarse pottery of Roman date and is not peculiar 
to any type, period or locality. Form, proportions and technique 
are all that remains to indicate their provenance and chronology. 
Owing to the longevity of many of the types, which survive in 
closely similar form and technique for lengthened periods, even 
centuries, it will add considerably to the archaeological value of 
such wares should the proportions stated in the accompanying 
Tables of Standard Proportions prove reliable as indications of 
date. 
* It is customary to call all kinds of ‘fumed ’ grey to black wares “Upchurch 
ware,” but evidently they were not all made in one spot or all imported. 
f By some writers the term ‘rustic ware J is applied exclusively to the small 
fumed ollae decorated en barbotine with zones of rough ridges, described in the 
preceding Part III., p. 27, plates XIV. a and b, 4. They forget that all coarse 
local wares and decorative designs upon them are more or less rustic in 
character, and are properly so designated by German writers.
