Names on Terra Sigillata: Volume 1 (A to AXO)
by Brian Hartley and Brenda Dickinson
The subtitle describes the contents of these volumes: an index of makers' stamps and signatures on Gallo-Roman terra sigillata (samian ware). Each variant stamp of each potter is recorded, as is its find-spot and date when known. The index will only make usable sense when all volumes are published; there are two so far and we are promised completion within five years!

Journal of Roman Pottery Studies Vol 12
edited by Geoffrey B Dannell and Pamela V Irving

She has been associated with a number of important excavations, such as Heronbridge and Much Hadham, and it has been said of her that "no serious excavation report of the Roman period can be completed without either a contribution from her, or a reference to her work." 224p (Oxbow Books 2006)

Roman Pottery Production in the Walbrook Valley: Excavations at 20-28 Moorgate, City of London, 1998-2000
by Fiona Seeley and James Drummond-Murray
Excavations have uncovered important new evidence of the second century AD Roman pottery industry, with up to eight kilns and a probable potters' workshop recorded on the west side of a major tributary of the Walbrook stream. Two distinct phases of production can be seen, and a stock of unused Samian ware from a pit suggests that pottery may have been sold in a shop attached to the production centre. The pottery industry went into decline in the ...

Pottery in Roman Britain
by Guy de la Bédoyère
A short introduction to the abundance of Romano-British ceramic finds. The author examines their production and distribution and use, ranging from kitchenware to lamps, tiles, figurines and even moulds for metalworking, in an attempt to identify patterns in decoration, colour, fabric and sources, elucidating aspects of trade and daily life in four centuries of Roman Britain. As always Bédoyère's narrative is uncomplicated but far from ...
