A soldier’s burial goods, from Holloway Street
Back to Time Period
The group includes decorated Samian pottery from southern Gaul (top left), a glass funnel, a small bronze lamp (bottom left), an intact pedestalled bowl (top) and a variety of coarse pottery including fragments of amphorae from Spain and Lyons ware from France.
The most interesting vessel is the pedestalled urn, which was made in Black-Burnished ware in the area around Poole harbour and represents an Iron Age style of pottery which disappeared soon after the Roman conquest.
