DICTIONARY OF ROMAN POTTERY TERMS
F. Cameron
The purpose of this dictionarY_ ·is to provide tl)anslations of the
more common terminology currently in use in Roman pottery studies. It
is not meant to be exhaustive but it is meant to provide a convenient
guide for anyone who might be struggling to read or write a Roman pott
ery report in another language. Nor is it intended to be used by any
one who is totally unfamiliar with the language in question. What it
does do, however, is to indicate which, for instance, of the many French
words for IInarrow ll can actually be applied to pottery. In some lang
uages, the regional variants may be numerous; there are, for instance,
no less than. five French words meaning "mortarium" according to the geo
graphical location (information from Kay Hartley), so all five alternat
ives have been given.
If a word does not appear in what might seem to b~_ the obvious
place in the dictionary, the following examples are intended as a guide
to the arrangement of the dictionary:
i. Rim types' al'!e grouped under "Rim." ii. Types of decoration are grouped under "Decoration." iii. "Potter's wheel" may be found under "Pottery." iv. "Coarse pottery" may be found under "Pottery." v. "Small bowl" may be found under IIBowl." iv. All the kiln terminology has been grouped separately, with an
illustration, in the appendix. Only the basic constituent parts of the kiln have been dealt with, since regional variations are even more numerous and certain types of kiln only occur in certain countries.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The original idea for this dictionary was first proposed to the Study
Group for Romano-British Coarse Pottery more than ten years ago by
Catherine Johns, who herself did some of the early editing. The task
- -- 58
-
was then passed on to Kevin Greene, who in turn passed it on to me, some
two or three years ago. To mention by name the vast multitude of people
who have contributed to it over the years, would be to compile a list
longer than the dictionary itself, but thanks are due to all of them.
For myself, I would particularly like to thank all those who have be1ped
me with this final version: Simon Keay, Paul Arthur, Ch~rine Gebara,
Jean-Pierre Brun, Daan Coumou, Mark Redknap and Sheila Girardon, who
also drew the illustration of the kiln (after Vivian Swan's illustra
tions in "The pottery kilns of Roman Britain," Royal Commission on
Historical Monuments, Supplementary Series No.5, HMSO,London, 1984). A
. major problem which has always dogged the production of this dictionary
is the mistakes made by typists who are familiar with neither the term
inology nor the languages, so I am particularly grateful to Linds.ay
Rollo who has helped me with the typing.
