Extract

Since the first general survey of the Romano-British Pewter Industry, published by Wedlake in his report on the excavations at Camerton in 1958, important further work has been done on the typology and distribution of pewter plates and dishes by Christopher Peal, and on the manufacture and typology of pewter vessels in a number of specialist reports. The present author first became interested in the Roman pewter industry whilst researching the development of the early tin industry of South-West England and has undertaken a reassessment of the evidence for the composition, distribution, manufacture and dating of Roman pewter in the light of recent research and examination of unpublished finds in museums.

31 op. cit. (note 20). The stratification and date of the spoons from the Walbrook may be questionable as they are workmen's finds rather than excavated items. However, impending analysis of other securely dated second-century pewter spoons at A.M.L. is likely to confirm the high-lead composition with some copper suggested by qualitative analysis of these objects.

36 op. cit. (note 20); op. cit. (note 33), 21. A letter from W.F. Grimes in the Peal correspondence (Pewter Society Library) states that a quantity of third-century material was recovered from a point immediately below the plates and that much of the material at this point derived from the collapse of the side of the stream channel. However, the form of these plates and their decoration suggests a date contemporary with the first- and second-century pottery, even if the layer in which they were found had been redeposited.

90 C.A. Peal (op. cit. (note 33), 20) refers to 16 different moulds. The total must be higher than this as there are approx. 40 different inner and outer vessel moulds. The majority are fragmentary but very few seemed likely to be matching pairs.
