IV.—Shale and Jet Objects from Silchester

Abstract

Silchester (Calleva Atrebatum) is the most extensively excavated of all Romano-British town-sites but the majority of the finds, now in Reading Museum, remain unpublished. Unfortunately these finds were not related stratigraphically to the site and therefore remained undated; insula and pit provenance is the most that was recorded, and then only occasionally, in the early years of excavation when the supervisors could find time.
