Extract

The good survival of ceramics in the archaeological record has ensured that pottery has played a major role in the study of ancient industry and trade. How far Roman pottery can be used as a proxy for understanding the organisation of other industries is not a debate we wish to enter here, but it is clear that there remain important areas to be researched before the usefulness of pottery is exhausted. There have been significant advances in understanding over the last twenty-five years, with research concentrating more on characterisation, and the nature and scale of distributions, than on typology and chronology. The benefits of adopting a quantitative approach have been well rehearsed, although not always accepted. In this way, such research has made a major contribution to the ongoing debate about the extent to which pottery production and supply, and hence the economy as a whole, were controlled by market as opposed to institutional interests such as the state and, in particular, the Roman army.

The archaeological evidence so far available from east of the Corfe River is paradoxical. As described by Cox and Hearne, op. cit. (note 47), 27–46, 70–9, a latest Iron Age-earliest Roman settlement gives way to mid-to-late Roman field-systems, and Ower is the only site of both late Iron Age-early Roman and third-/fourth-century Roman settlement. The mid-period field-systems, however, demand the presence of a nearby settlement from which they could have been farmed.
