About this title

Synopsis

This volume presents specialist reports on the Late Iron Age and Roman artefacts recovered from Springhead and Northfleet. These include over 2 tonnes of pottery, 1,756 coins and tokens, over 2,500 other metal small finds and 3,000 nails. The metal finds include items of personal adornment and dress, household utensils and furniture, objects for weighing and measuring, pieces of toilet or medical equipment, tools associated with manufacture and agriculture, military equipment and votive and religious pieces. Quantities of iron slag, ceramic building material and wall plaster, woodwork, 95 rotary querns and at least two pipeclay Venus figurines, along with glass, leather shoes and objects of bone are also reported. Together this huge assemblage helps paint a picture of life, religious activity and death in the settlement and temple complexes with their associated roads, riverside structures and cemeteries, and of the nearby Northfleet Villa.
