page 225 note 1 The excavation was carried out by the writer, Mr. D. F. Mackreth, Mr. Triffit, and Miss Phillipa Fox-Robinson, who recorded and packed the finds. Mr. W. W. Powell took the photographs and the owners of the houses nearby provided electric light and hot drinks throughout the night. The plan and sections of the graves were drawn by Mr. D. F. Mackreth; the drawings of the objects are mostly the work of Mr. D. S. Neal, with some by Miss Margaret White, who also treated the finds in the laboratory. The late Mr. Cedric Yardley and Miss Sarah Jennings helped in work on the finds and Dr. Peter Watts of the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital and Dr. Dawson of the Royal Hampshire County Hospital took X-radiographs of the metal objects. To all these and others who have helped, I offer my grateful thanks.

page 226 note 1 Mr. F. Cottrill provided this information from the records of the Winchester City Museums.

page 238 note 1 I noted this type as a western phenomenon when cataloguing the glass from Karanis in Egypt (Harden, D. B., Roman Glass from Karanis (Ann Arbor, 1936), p. 233Google Scholar) indicating then (and the same is true today) that it had, to my knowledge, no eastern counterparts. Fragments of jugs with tall handles and constrictions at their base, but unlike this western group in other respects, occurred in third- and fourth-century levels at Karanis (ibid., p. 240, nos. 710–11).

page 238 note 2 I use ‘pre-moulded’ to indicate the application of corrugations and other patterns to a vase by blowing the gob into a ribbed or otherwise-patterned cylindrical mould, after release from which the body of the vessel with its decoration is blown and fashioned into its final shape. By this process the decoration expands laterally on bulbous bodies and is often twisted into S-curves (for example) as well by twirling the vessel on the blowpipe.

page 238 note 3 The first, op. cit., p. 105, fig. 87, no. 6, is a plain piece from Muralto, Liverpool Unten, Grave 44; the second, ibid., p. 148, fig. 128, no. 3, and pl. 12, no. 4, has vertical ribs on the body and came from Minusio, Cadra, Grave 14.

page 239 note 1 In the Claudio-Neronian levels (IV-VI) I could list only three fragments of Form 55 (D. B. Harden apud, Camulodunum, p. 305, nos. 94–96). No. was of Form 55 b; no. 95 was either 55 a or 55 b; the third was a neck and handle fragment only.

page 239 note 2 I omit ibid., no. 370 for reasons explained in 94 note 2, p. 240, below,

page 240 note 1 For this dating see Berger, L., Römische aus Vindonissa (1960), table opp. p. 92Google Scholar, which gives the most recent, considered dates for the various graves at Locarno.

page 240 note 2 I state this firmly, despite the apparent contrary evidence of the ‘colourless’ jug from pit 141 at Richborough illustrated in Richborough IV, p. 158, no. 370, pl. lxviii. Miss Charlesworth tells me that the piece is not colourless, but greenish. Besides, the shape is uncertain, since the drawing is restored from fragments and the handle, as restored, is quite unconvincing. But whatever shape the handle was, it is difficult to see how the extant bits of handle-attach-merits at the lip and on the shoulder could belong to one of the handles of the type which concerns us here, I have therefore (see n. 2, p. 239) omitted this piece from my reckoning.

page 248 note 5 I am most grateful to Mr. R. A. H. Farrar, F.S.A., for kindly providing me with full details of the shale plaques found in Dorset.

page 249 note 1 The existence of a bevel on the underside of some of these objects has been used (London in Roman Times (1930), p. 109) to support their interpretation as trays, since it would make them easier to pick up. As Table II shows, bevels are almost as frequent on the upper edges and cannot therefore be used to support this argument.

page 249 note 2 These cuts, which are relatively few in number, must not be confused with the mass of scorings found on the underside of almost all these objects. These latter scorings appear to result from the rough trimming of the underside of the shale, which has not been brought to the same smooth surface as the upper side.
