Before the 1970s, discoveries of Roman material in Guernsey
consisted of a few chance finds of coins, plus a handful of sherds
of samian pottery from the harbour and from prehistoric megaliths.
Since the 1980s, however, two large-scale excavations in the town
of St Peter Port, plus accumulated evidence from rescue excavations
elsewhere in the island and from underwater discoveries, has
demonstrated that there was significant Roman occupation which
lasted for several centuries. This volume presents reports of the
excavations carried out at La Plaiderie (1983-85) and the Bonded
Store (1996-2005) in St Peter Port, together with a gazetteer of
all Roman finds recorded from almost one hundred other sites in
Guernsey and Herm. It includes a detailed study of the pottery
recovered from the two town sites, which demonstrates that Guernsey
was a significant port-of-call on the Atlantic trade route and
along the length of the Channel. Finds included pottery, including
samian, glass, intaglios, metalworking debris, a range of small
finds and environmental data. The volume concludes with a gazetteer
of Roman sites and finds on Guernsey and Herm.
