ROMAN POTTERY FOUND IN BRITAIN. 
33 
Gibson & Simpson, Poltross-burn, V., 6, 14, 15 (a.d. 270—330). 
Examples have also been obtained from the latest deposits (end of 
IV. Century) at Corbridge. 
The two last mentioned types 7, 8 are those which gradually 
widen until they overhang the sides of the vessel at a late period— 
IV. to V. Century. 
9 .—The sunk-head lip , consisting of a shallow groove or ledge, 
merely defining the rounded edge of the vessel, accompanies the 
dying out of style and purpose in the manufacture of cooking-pots, 
drinking-mugs, &c. 
By a process of perhaps over-refinement, the types or varieties 
of rims could be further extended. 
8. Tall Bottle-necked ovoid Olla, girt at the joining of the 
neck and in the middle with wide cordons defined by grooves. 
Flat outbent lip and beaded foot. 
Fumed dark-grey clay. 
Height 12 ins., diams. of rims \\ ins., bulge 8^ ins., base 34 ins. 
Proportions, 37: 69 : 31. Margins, 36: 39. 
Identical in form with those of Belgic terra nigra found with 
coins of Augustus, Tiberius, and Nero (b.c. ii—a.d. 54). Kcenen, 
p. 74, X., 4, 5. 
. Both form and decoration are of Late Celtic origin. Various 
developed forms of bottle-necked ollae continued to be employed 
throughout the Roman period and later. Loeschcke, Haltern , V., 
p. 292, Abb. 46. 
9. Wide-bulged Olla, with recurved rim, type 57, Loeschcke. 
Fumed light-grey clay, coated with a darker slip on the upper portion of 
the body.

An olla of like proportions, 75: 106: 35; margins, 42: 61, in 
Trier Provincial Museum, 03.435, is dated by Dr. E. Kruger, 
(a.d. 50—100). 
10. Large, Thick-set, Boldly Outbulged Olla. Rim curving 
in a semi-circle to a flat-topped thickened lip, beaded foot, 
and slightly domed under base. (See Rim Section, type 4). 
Fumed light-grey sandy clay.
