A Typical Assemblage? by Lindsay Allason-Jones OBE

Roman roads cut across landscapes heading towards sites or by-passing them. All these sites, whether military or civilian, produce finds but the day we held in Berwick recently on the matter of the Devil's Causeway led to the question: is there a typical assemblage that one might expect to find on a fort or on a Romano-British settlement?
This talk looks at the finds that might be discovered in a Roman fort and on a Romano-British settlement site but also discusses the assemblage that might identify the Roman equivalent of a motorway service station. What has been found along Roman roads and why do artefact discoveries tend to cluster around river crossings will also be considered.
