Finds from the excavation of Eccles Roman Villa, Kent

Roman Pottery Samian stamps from excavations at Eccles Roman Villa

Alec Detsicas who directed the excavations at Eccles took a great interest in the Samian ware that was found there. Alec was introduced to Samian studies by Eric Birley at Corbridge, eventually becoming a recognised expert in his own right. He became the Secretary of the Study Group for Roman Pottery (SGRP) on its formation and would have met and discussed his Samian with Brian Hartley. Eventually Alec sent information on some fifty-seven stamps to Brian Hartley for the Leeds Archive. Information on the stamps can now be found on the website of Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum website at https://www1.rgzm.de/samian/home/frames.htm  There are many books available on samian ware (see Suggested reading) and the excellent website Potsherd by Paul Tyers. For pictures of Samian Ware fabrics visit the Christopher St John Breen Roman Pottery Archive 
  These photographs were taken in March and April 2013. I would prepare the sherds with labels, Thierry would take the pictures and Annie Biot, both  of FRAG would pack them away safely in individual bags with labels see pictures of work
