Cup sherd (form 33a), stamped LOGIRN (M) the mark of the potter Logirnus. c. AD 80-100
The samian recovered from the excavations on the British Telecom site, though not great in quantity, is of particular interest since it includes a substantial group of South Gaulish decorated ware from La Graufesenque, which belongs to the early occupation of the fortress. When reassembled, some of these bowls are largely complete, though the sherds have been widely scattered and often turned up in later levels. Some show evidence of considerable wear, including D1, the bowl that is stylistically the earliest found. This suggests that it had been used elsewhere before being brought to the fortress.
Site Name: British Telecom Site, Caerleon
Notes: Excavation conducted on land immediately to the east of the telephone exchange on Museum Street.
