The ancient counties surrounding the Weald in the southeastern
corner of England have a strongly marked character of their own
that has survived remarkably well in the face of ever-increasing
population pressure. The area is, however, comparatively neglected
in discussion of Roman Britain, where it is often subsumed into a
generalised treatment of the 'civilian' part of Britannia that is
based largely on other parts of the country. This book aims to
redress the balance. The focus is particularly on Kent, Surrey and
Sussex account is taken of information from neighbouring counties,
particularly when the difficult subsoils affect the availability of
evidence. An overview of the environment and a consideration of
themes relevant to the South-East as a whole accompany 14 papers
covering the topics of rural settlement in each county, crops,
querns and millstones, animal exploitation, salt production,
leatherworking, the working of bone and similar materials, the
production of iron and iron objects, non-ferrous metalworking,
pottery production and the supply of tile to Roman London.
Agriculture and industry provides an up-to-date assessment of our
knowledge of the southern hinterland of Roman London and an area
that was particularly open to influences from the Continent.
