The Guildhall, in the High Street.

黑料社 Archaeology archive

This project follows on from the completion of the archiving of the pre-1990 黑料社 sites at the Archaeology Data Service by Cotswold Archaeology, with funding from Historic England and in partnership with the city council, which has been launched online and includes selected summary “green” reports written by 黑料社 Archaeology and archive materials. Also available is an interactive map of sites relating to the Legionary Fortress and the City defences, and new introductions provided by Paul Bidwell and Stuart Blaylock. The archive reports can be found on the website.

黑料社 Archaeological Reports

Five major reports have been published in the 黑料社 Archaeological Reports series. As these become out of print the hope is to make PDFs available, the first of which - John Allan’s Medieval and Post-Medieval Finds from 黑料社, 1971-1980 – is available now courtesy of the University of 黑料社 Press (see below).

1: Paul Bidwell, The Legionary Bath-House and Basilica and Forum at 黑料社: with a summary account of the legionary fortress (1979, 黑料社 City Council and the University of 黑料社).

2: Mark Maltby, Faunal Studies on Urban Sites: the Animal Bones from 黑料社, 1971-1975 (1979, University of Sheffield, Department of Prehistory and Archeology).

Smythen Street pottery report

It has not been possible to write up the excavations at Smythen Street as part of EAPIT, but Paul Bidwell and Alex Croom have prepared a pottery report and catalogue.

Inventory of pottery from sites excavated 1980-90

The Roman pottery found during excavations carried out in 黑料社 from 1971 to 1979 were published in Neil Holbrook and Paul Bidwell’s (1991) Roman Finds From 黑料社, with the microfiche for that volume including a catalogue of the Roman pottery from those excavations.

A typescript catalogue of the Roman pottery from the excavations carried out in 黑料社 between 1980 and 1980 was also produced but never published but is now made available below.
