Names on Terra Sigillata is the product of 40 years of study, and
records over 5,000 names and some 300,000 stamps and signatures on
Terra Sigillata (samian ware) manufactured in the first to the
third centuries AD in Gaul, the German provinces, and Britain. With
volume 9 the series is now complete: the last volume has a
comprehensive index to the whole set of 9 volumes. This is the
first catalogue of its type to appear since Felix Oswald's Index of
Potters' Stamps on Terra Sigillata (`Samian Ware'), published in
1931. The importance of samian as a tool for dating archaeological
contexts and the vast increase in samian finds since then has
prompted the authors to record the work of the potters in greater
detail, illustrating, whenever possible, each individual stamp or
signature which the potter used, and enumerating examples of each
vessel type on which it appears, together with details of
find-spots, repositories and museum accession numbers or
excavators' site codes. Dating of the potters' activity is
supported, as far as possible, by a discussion of the evidence.
This is based on the occurrence of material in historically-dated
contexts or on its association with other stamps or signatures
dated by this method. The bulk of the material was examined
personally by the authors, from kiln sites and occupation sites in
France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Britain, but the catalogue
also includes published records which they were able to verify,
both from those areas and from other parts of the Roman Empire.
