Roman Alcester Volume 3

Northern extramural area

by Paul Booth and Jeremy Evans

This final volume in the Alcester excavation series focuses on the area of the town containing the early postulated fort around which the town is believed to have originated.

The book describes significant assemblages of pottery, metalwork, bone objects, glass and faunal remains, which add considerably to our knowledge of material culture, trade and animal husbandry. The findings as a whole offer crucial insights into Romano-British small town development.

The volume will be of interest to archaeologists and historians of Roman Britain, material culture and towns, as well as readers with a special interest in the local history of Warwickshire and the West Midlands. Funded by English Heritage.
