The third Roman Alcester report focuses on the results of five
excavations in the `northern suburbs' of the extramural area which lay
to the south of Alcester, the largest and possibly the most important
Roman settlement in Warwickshire which is also one of the most
thoroughly excavated. The volume includes reports on ceramics and metal
objects which were associated with the original military settlement and
the development of the town in the early AD 60s. In addition, evidence
was found for the first civilian structures which were built on top of
early, regular and possibly military buildings. The volume concludes
with an overview of the development of Alcester in the light of twenty
years of excavation. Further finds reports and catalogues can be
examined on the enclosed microfiche.
