The pottery from this site reveals the changing patterns of ceramic use within the legionary fortress of Eboracum. Excavations at 9 Blake Street resulted in the recovery of the longest sequence of Roman pottery seen in York to date. Of particular interest was material deposited during the early military occupation of York, which included a large group of unused South Gaulish samian and quantities of early Flavian fine wares, plus an unusual assemblage of lamps.

This report examines the 9,500 sherds of Roman pottery from two sites within the colonia of York. A dating framework is based mainly on the samian ware and mortaria, and there is a discussion of the application of statistical analyses to the wares grouped by fabric and period. This is followed by a report on amphorae from York, which emphasises the important position held by Spanish olive oil and French wine in the economy of the area.
