“…Certainly a greater dependence on locally produced, coarser, hand-made, and more friable pottery, or even non-ceramic containers, would leave significantly less robust material signatures in the archaeological record (Blake 1978, pp. 440-441;Christie 2004;Patterson 2000;Reece 1989;Van Ossel and Ouzoulias 2000, pp. 135-136;Ward-Perkins 2000, pp.…”

This paper reexamines the archaeological evidence for three episodes of rural abandonment and resettlement in the countrysides of Late Roman Greece (200-700 CE): an abandoned Late Hellenistic-Early Roman countryside (second century BCE to third century CE), a decline in the third to early fourth centuries CE, and the Dark Age beginning in the seventh century CE. The first and third episodes of abandonment, especially, have sharply defined Late Antiquity (250-700 CE) as a healthy period of new rural settlement and economic resurgence, and the entire pattern has been described in the terms of "boom-and-bust" demographic and economic cycles. Closer readings of the archaeological data can contribute to more sensitive pictures of continuity and change in settlement and connectivity in the late antique Corinthian countryside and other regions in Greece.

“…In part, this is the result of the dearth of non-urban sites showing continuity of occupation between the fourth and the fifth–sixth centuries ad ; discontinuity is indeed a topic frequently associated with the establishment of Anglo-Saxon communities and is often reflected in the material culture recovered from their settlements and cemeteries (e.g. Reece, 1989; Evans, 1990; Hamerow, 2012). Early Anglo-Saxon animal husbandry has mainly been investigated in settlements that were established after the fall of Roman Britain.…”

Livestock Changes at the Beginning and End of the Roman Period in Britain: Issues of Acculturation, Adaptation, and ‘Improvement’

2017

This article reviews aspects of the development of animal husbandry in Roman Britain, focusing in particular on the Iron Age/Roman and Roman/early medieval transitions. By analysing the two chronological extremes of the period of Roman influence in Britain we try to identify the core characteristics of Romano-British husbandry by using case studies, in particular from south-eastern Britain, investigated from the perspective of the butchery and morphometric evidence they provide. Our aim is to demonstrate the great dynamism of Romano-British animal husbandry, with substantial changes in livestock management occurring at the beginning, the end, and during the period under study. It is suggested that such changes are the product of interactions between different cultural and social traditions, which can be associated with indigenous and external influences, but also numerous other causes, ranging from ethnic origins to environmental, geographic, political, and economic factors.

“…Early Anglo-Saxon material culture is also rare, and especially so in Dorset, although the fi nds from near Hod Hill offer a glimmer of hope (Eagles and Mortimer 1993). 81 Reece 1989, 232. 82 Reece 1989. See also Ryan 1988, 135.…”

Finding the Fifth Century: A Late Fourth- and Early Fifth-Century Pottery Fabric from South-East Dorset

This paper describes a type of pottery made in the same region as Dorset Black Burnished Ware that can be shown to be current during the late fourth and early fi fth centuries. This pottery -here named South-East Dorset Orange Wiped Ware -can be used as a diagnostic artefact to identify sites and features of the very late Roman period in Dorset. It also appears to be associated with a new architectural tradition typifi ed by the 'sunken featured buildings' present at the late and post-Roman site of Poundbury.
