In this project, I will explore variations in ceramic vessel use in Roman Britain through organic residueanalysis of funerary vessels from three distinct burial contexts. Continuity and change in burialpractices and vessel use can be seen on a regional level over the course of the Roman period (Cool2004: 466; Williams 2005). For example, evidence from South-East England demonstrates thenumber of accessory vessels deposited in graves decreased over the 3rd and 4th centuries, comparedwith earlier funerary traditions (Philpott, 1991). These broader trends in Romano-British burialtraditions raise questions about the function of pottery in funerary contexts, for example: where didthe vessels come from, why were they chosen, and what did they contain?

在这个项目中，我将通过对来自三个不同墓葬环境的陪葬器皿的有机残留物分析，探索罗马时期英国陶瓷器皿使用的变化。在罗马时期，埋葬习俗和器皿使用的连续性和变化可以在区域层面上看到（Cool2004：466；Williams 2005）。例如，来自英格兰东南部的证据表明，与早期的丧葬传统相比，在三世纪和四世纪期间，存放在坟墓中的附属器皿的数量有所减少（Philpott，1991）。罗马-英国墓葬传统的这些更广泛的趋势引发了关于陶器在丧葬环境中的功能的问题，例如：这些器皿来自哪里，为什么选择它们，以及它们包含什么？
