The small finds from the Baths Basilica Wroxeter: a digital resource

The excavations in the Baths Basilica at Wroxeter were published as Barker, P., White, R. Pretty, K., Bird, H. and Corbishley, M. 1997. The Baths Basilica Wroxeter: Excavations 1966-90, English Heritage Archaeological Report 8, (London). The large small finds assemblage was only selectively published there, although extensive work had been carried out on it during the post-excavation period. The aim of the archive project was to make this dataset fully available to researchers. It consists of a database table with details of each find and their contexts. Supporting text files provide typological background and a full concordance of all the contexts which phasing and cross references to the published report. All of the drawings of the objects that exist (c. 2000 items) are provided as high resolution scans that can be re-used in either letterpress or digital resources. There are also over photographs (over 300). The resource will be of use to people studying the sub-Roman period, regionality in Roman Britain and those with interests in particular categories of finds.
