Professor Michael Fulford
Gaulish samian or sigillata was the principal type of tableware used in the western provinces of the Roman Empire, particularly in Britain, Gaul and Germany, between the 1st and the 3rd centuries AD and is found in the great majority of sites within the Empire. In order to produce a survey of this important evidence for industrialisation, the project will compile an online database of some 5,000 different potters and their associated die-stamps, 400,000 in total, produced over 250 years. The electronic catalogue will be developed and hosted by the Romisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum, Mainz (Germany) and will be made publically available on the publication of the data, which will be in 9 printed volumes, published by the Institute of Classical Studies, University of London.
