Extract

Sir Mortimer Wheeler has made innumerable contributions to the archaeology of the Roman period in Britain, and in his inaugural lecture as Professor of the Archaeology of the Roman Provinces he declared his faith in training in Romano–British archaeology as the best training for would-be excavators, a faith to which I emphatically adhere. When he extended his field to India, he sought for and found datable products from Rome, Arretine ware, to provide a hitherto completely lacking fixed point in chronology, by means of which he established a chronological framework for much of the 1st millennium b.c. in the Indian sub-continent. Between Britain and India lies Palestine. Probably not many people know how nearly Sir Mortimer went to Palestine c. 1936, as Director of Antiquities. Political events made it impossible, but he has maintained his interest in this area. It seems not inappropriate to offer an article on the Roman impact on Palestine to this volume in his honour.
