Article / Letter to editor

As the Roman conquest of the Netherlands takes place in the last decades BC the material culture gradually changes. Where the inhabitants used local handmade pottery before the Roman conquest, after 150 AD it was completely replaced by wheel thrown pottery. This paper will focus specifically on the handmade imitations of wheel thrown and glass vessels, which were made in the 150 years in which the handmade pottery gradually was being replaced.
