Pottery in Britain by Lloyd Laing
"Clay is an exceptionally versatile material. It can be made into many useful and beautiful objects, decorated in a splendid variety of ways and, if exposed to high temperatures, made into pottery. Both rich and poor have used pottery since the Stone Age, so the way the craft developed gives unusually clear insights into intimate details of lifestyle and outlooks in even remote periods.”

Pottery in Britain, a guide to identifying pot sherds, by Lloyd Laing, aims to provide an introductory guide to identifying some of the basic types of pottery that may be found and contains 178 illustrations, mainly in colour, divided into the following sections:

Roman Buckles & Brooches
This beautiful new A4 Hardback book looks at the artefacts from the period leading up to the end of Roman rule in Britain. The early chapters seek to understand what was happening in Britain at that time, while the second part looks in detail at examples of brooches, buckles, belt fittings and spurs that have been dated to that period. The end of Roman Britain continues to fascinate  and this publication uses many artefacts found by detectorists to make an important contribution to our  knowledge.
Lavishly illustrated with colour photographs, together with 40 distribution maps, Roman Brooches and Buckles provides new information on typologies, the dates  when the objects were made and their distributions. It will be of  interest to metal detectorists and specialists alike.

Richard Henry is a finds specialist who has worked for the Portable  Antiquities Scheme as the Finds Liaison Officer for Wiltshire,  for Historic England and as a museum curator. He has published books  and articles on Roman archaeology, material culture, coinage and  hoards.
