“…There are still gaps in our knowledge of the Roman British infrastructure. It is possible that in addition to the port in London that the Romans constructed provincial coastal and river ports to further facilitate trade with the rest of their empire (Rippon 2008). The collapse of the Roman British state led to the collapse of marketing in Britain.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the development of marketing practice in Britain from the ancient to the early twentieth century. It builds upon the author’s chapter in the 2016 Routledge Companion to the History of Marketing. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on a review of secondary history and archaeology literature supplemented by digitised historic newspaper and magazine advertising. The literature is frameworked using a modified version of Fullerton’s 1988 periodization which has been extended to include the medieval and Roman eras. Findings One of the significant findings of this paper is the key role the state has played in the development of marketing practice in Britain, the construction of pavements being a good example. Originality/value Apart from Nevett’s 1982 history of British advertising and the author’s Routledge Companion to the History of Marketing chapter, this is the first survey of the historical development of British marketing practice. It assembles and presents in a useful way important information. This paper will be of interest to marketing historians, especially students and researchers new to the subject.

“…The wetlands in the immediate hinterland of Caerleon appear to have been embanked and used for grazing animals (Beasley & Meddens 2001;Fulford et al 1994), and so another area will have been required for salt production. There is in fact a direct link between Caerleon and the marshlands south of the Siger and in particular the port at Crandon Bridge besides the Parrett Estuary (Rippon 2008b). Crandon Bridge appears to have formed part of a major supply route for the military garrison at Caerleon, with a large amount of its pottery having been brought there from Poole Harbour in south-east Dorset before being loaded onto larger vessels that could cross the Severn Estuary and sail to Caerleon.…”

Environment, Archaeology and Landscape: Papers in honour of Professor Martin Bell

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Environment, Archaeology and Landscape is a collection of papers dedicated to Martin Bell on his retirement as Professor of Archaeological Science at the University of Reading. Three themes outline how wetland and inland environments can be related and investigated using multi-method approaches. ‘People and the Sea: Coastal and Intertidal Archaeology’ explores the challenges faced by humans in these zones – particularly relevant to the current global sea level rise. ‘Patterns in the Landscape: Mobility and Human-environment Relationships’ includes some more inland examples and examines how past environments, both in Britain and Europe, can be investigated and brought to public attention. The papers in ‘Archaeology in our Changing World: Heritage Resource Management, Nature Conservation and Rewilding’ look at current challenges and debates in landscape management, experimental and community archaeology. A key theme is how archaeology can contribute time depth to an understanding of biodiversity and environmental sustainability. This volume will be of value to all those interested in environmental archaeology and its relevance to the modern world.

“…This raises the possibility that preserved shoulders of beef may have been traded. There is evidence for a substantial increase in salt production during the Romano-British period in many areas of England (de Brisay and Evans 1975;Bradley 1992;Lane and Morris 2001;Hathaway 2006;Rippon 2008) raising the probability that much of the meat eaten was in the form of cured products.…”
