ROMAN POTTERY FOUND IN BRITAIN. 
Barthel, Zugmantel, XIX., 2 (a.d. 117—160) and Abb. 30, No. 6 
(a.d. 121 —138); Dr. E. Kruger, Prov. Mus. Trier , 04.777a (a.d. 
100 —150); Curie, Newstead , p. 246, Fig. 25, Nos. 9, 14 (a.d. 69—96). 
(b) . Level lip , ending a convex shoulder (without neck) at an 
acute angle—like a figure 7 (Arabic numeral) in section. The 
statistics of provenance show that it belongs to the II. Century. 
Wolff, Hedd. Mitteil , IV. (nida), XII., 46 (a.d. 50 — 117); Welcker, 
Ibid., Fig. 7, Nos. 2, 5, 6 (a.d. 133 — 200) ; Barthel, Zugmantel , 
p. 161, Abb. 30, No. 8 (a.d. 161—180). Gibson & Simpson, 
Poltross-burn, V., 9, record a single example (a.d. 270—330). 
(c) . Level lip , becoming beaded or knobbed on the inner, and 
inclined on the outer edge, in section like a duck’s head and neck. 
This is a later development of (a) and (b) appearing in the 
second half of the II. Century. 
Welcker, Op. cit. Fig. 7, Nos. 10, 11 (a.d. 133—200). 
6. — Funnel-shaped rim, the plain flat rim, obliquely inclined, of 
the Rhaetian pottery, is termed funnel-shaped by Drexel, Faimingen, 
pp. 80, 92, plate XII., 25, 29 (a.d. ioo—250). 
The form is the prevailing one in Rhaetia for red-glazed beakers 
decorated en barbotiue, and pots with hollows below the handles for 
convenient handling, which have not been recorded in Britain, 
though the funnel-shaped rim has been met with on vessels of Fate 
Celtic type at Corbridge, Colchester, Upchurch (Rochester Mus.), 
Maidstone, &c. The British and Rhaetian examples probably 
have a common Fa Tene origin, such as exists between Rhaetian 
and Galatian (Asia Minor) pottery, though there is nothing in¬ 
herently improbable about direct inter-communication taking place 
between the two nothern provinces during the period of the joint 
Roman occupation (end of I. to middle of III. Century). 
7. —Cavetto rim, quarter-round rim rising from a convex shoulder 
with a sharp bend where the direction of the curve is reversed. 
Pitt-Rivers Excavations , IIP, plate 186, 5; Salzmann, Sussex 
Arch. Soc. Collections , Pevensey. p. 14, IV. to V. Century; Cunning- 
ton & Goddard, Devizes Mus. Cat., plate XXXIX., 2, 3 ; XVII., 
17, 19; Guildhall Mus. Cat., FIX., 6, 9. 
8. —Flat curved lip, rising from a sharply curved neck—like a 
flattened G or a staple-hook in section. The distinct ledge at the 
joining of neck and shoulder is not a new feature, but appears in a 
rudimentary form on the early Augustan rims of the cooking-pots 
at Haltern, V., p. 239, Abb. 32, Nos. 1, 6—8.
