Ebook: The Post-Roman Small Finds from Excavations in Colchester 1971-85

Principal illustrator: T. W. Cook. Contributions from Barry Ager, Justine Bayley, David Buckley, Philip Crummy, Geoff Egan, Dr Patricia Galloway, Joy Hind, and Hilary Major.

This volume is the fifth in the series entitled 'Colchester Archaeological Reports'. In it are presented the post-Roman small finds from excavations and watching briefs undertaken in Colchester between 1971 and 1985 by the Colchester Archaeological Trust (formerly Colchester Excavation Committee). The objects, with full archival details, are in the Colchester and Essex Museum.

The examination of the small finds, Roman and post-Roman, was begun in spring 1976, and two volumes have already been published. CAR 2 dealt with the Roman small finds and CAR 4 with the coins from the excavations of 1971-9. This volume covers the post-Roman objects from excavations up to and including 1985. The Roman small finds from sites later than 1979 will henceforth be included in the site reports, as will the post-Roman small finds from excavations later than 1985.
