These flagons were made in the 1st - 4th centuries AD in the modern Hertfordshire villages of Much and Little Hadham, where production of this type of pottery took place on an industrial scale. This type of pottery is generally found in a thirty mile radius of it's source, and is a unique find from the East London Roman cemetery.
First images of the first burials on site being excavated by the Cheese. As well as some other interesting working shots of post-Medieval stuff – including a sherd of imported pottery that may have an exotic provenance possibly a sherd of Spanish paterna blue pottery from Valencia – late 15th/early 16th century. Maybe.
