Summary.Middle Minoan Knossos shares in the sealing evolution which we have seen elsewhere on the island (SSMC I): the earliest sealings are placed directly on objects, a practice which, in time, generally yields to nodules which hang on cords (first crescents, then prismatic types) and flat‐based nodules which were pressed over leather strips, presumably parchment documents. We have no LM IB sealings from Knossos, a site which might have been expected to have evolved its own local version of the Minoan sealing system. Sealings from the final destruction deposits at Knossos are at once closer to the earlier practices from Phaistos and to the later system known from the mainland. The mainland connection is seen in a reduction of sealing shapes (especially the disappearance of flat‐based nodule types) and in a non‐intensive, non‐elite pattern of s

摘要:

Summary.The suggestions that Greek decorated pottery was cheap, and that in trade overseas it can be regarded as little more than ‘saleable ballast', are refuted by demonstration of its relative value, by weight and by volume, beside that of other commodities for which comparable evidence is available. From this its profitability may also be deduce

摘要:

Summary.Several methods of assessing the performance of ancient boats are briefly described, including the experimental building and trials of replicas. It is considered that the method of using hydrostatic curves and speed‐related coefficients is often the most cost‐effective and this is used to assess the logboat from Hasholme, North Humberside of c 300

摘要:

Summary.A general summary of the present knowledge of the Roman marble trade is given, with particular reference to uses in architecture. The Greek background is given briefly and evidence from the literary sources is discussed. The main features of the organisation set up in the mid 1st century AD for the transport of decorative stones are examined and an appendix details the main sources of supply. General observations are made about the distributions of certain types of marble and granite.

摘要:

Summary.The layouts of the Inchtuthil and Colchester legionary fortresses suggest that 7 1/2 and 3 3/4 p.M. units were employed in military as well as civil planning. The 38 units long by 38 1/2 units wide plots occupied by cohortal blocks at Inchtuthil appear to have provided the basis on which the whole fortress was designed and the sizes of other internal buildings seem to have been related to this scheme. Colchester, although much less well‐known, shows similarities. Further implications for civil and military planning are considere

摘要:

Summary.Brooks (1986) concluded that there was no compelling evidence for continuity between the late Roman and early Anglo‐Saxon periods in any of the major towns of Roman Britain. Important new evidence, especially from the Marlowe I–IV and Marlowe Theatre sites, necessitates a re‐examination of the position in Canterbury. The conclusions reached are that (a) the gap in occupation in Canterbury is much shorter than previously thought, and perhaps as little as 20 years; (b) nevertheless, because there is no evidence of cultural mingling between the Romano‐British and the Anglo‐Saxons, or of agricultural use of the dark soil, there still is a gap, and continuity in Canterbury therefore still remains to
