Samian Pottery

Question

I wonder if you could tell me what has happened to the Samian pottery found at the Roman mansio at Millgate and would it be possible to include photos of it on the website in future, either individualy or part of a special feature showing the finds?

Answer

All the pottery from the excavations is still with Oxford Archaeology North who are still processing it. As it happens the society is close to publishing a special section on this website dedicated to the bathhouse excavations (by the way the current theory is that it wasn't a mansion). Hopefully we will be able to keep the section update with further developments as post processing continues.
