What were the eating and drinking habits of the inhabitants of
Britain during the Roman period? Drawing on evidence from a large
number of archaeological excavations, this fascinating new study
shows how varied these habits were in different regions and amongst
different communities and challenges the idea that there was any
one single way of being Roman or native. Integrating a range of
archaeological sources, including pottery, metalwork and
environmental evidence such as animal bone and seeds, this book
illuminates eating and drinking choices, providing invaluable
insights into how those communities regarded their world. The book
contains sections on the nature of the different types of evidence
used and how this can be analysed. It will be a useful guide to all
archaeologists and those who wish to learn about the strength and
weaknesses of this material and how best to use it.

This report presents the vessel glass and small finds found during
the excavations between 1995 and 2006 that took place in Insula
VI.1, Pompeii (henceforth VI.1). More than 5,000 items are
discussed, and the size of the assemblage has meant that the
publication is in two parts. The book you are reading consists of
the discussion with associated illustrations and the catalogue
entries for a subset of the data. The other half is available
digitally on the Archaeological Data Service. That part contains
the full catalogue of the material recorded, additional contextual
information, and details about the initial excavations of the
insula during the eighteenth century.
