Peoples of Roman Britain: The Coritani

More about the book

This is the 1991 Alan Sutton hardback reprint. List of Illustrations; Preface; 1. Tribal Territory and the Pre-Roman Iron Age; 2. AD 43-367; 3. Communications and Urban Settlement; 4. Rural Settlement; 5. Industry and the Economy; 6. The Late Fourth and Fifth Centuries; Notes and References; Bibliography; Index. Includes 46 illustrations. This reissued volume has been extensively rewritten due to much new information being available on this part of Eastern Britain under Roman administration. Despite the new evidence, even in 1991 the principal themes of research from the early 1970s were still very much present in archaeology at the time of rewriting. Unfortunately the problem of non-publication of archaeological digs was also still present as a problem. This book therefore includes the most important advances in the archaeology of rural settlement, at least in terms of the accessible results
