The difficulty of accurately dating the vessels known as ‘mortaria’ has often been felt by excavators, and Mr. J. P. Bushe-Fox has done a great service in his classification of mortaria rims, admirably illustrated in his First Report of the Wroxeter excavations in 1912 (Soc.Ant. Lond. 1913, figs. 19 and 20); but he himself stated (p. 76) that ‘one of the chief difficulties has been the lack of any publication in which a sufficient number of specimens has been brought together showing clearly the different types and their variations’. Even his series did not begin earlier than Vespasian; at Margidunum, however, I found examples from the Claudian occupation (A.D. 48) down to the end of the fourth century, and this site therefore has furnished a continuous series of a large number of examples from datable layers, many of them stamped with potters' names, illustrating the changes in development of this vessel during a period of 350 years
