David Applegate\u00a0has been awarded the Annual John\u00a0Gillam Prize by the Study Group for Roman Pottery for his Archaeological Project examining ‘Hoo ware’ –\u00a0that is Roman pottery of\u00a0the first\u00a0century AD manufactured on the Medway\u00a0Estuary. The study is the first comprehensive examination of this pottery type which was distributed in South-East England in the early Roman era. The pottery in question was\u00a0rescued from the\u00a0estuarine silts at low tide. The award was made by the Study Group for Roman Pottery\u00a0at their annual conference held this July at Glasgow University. The award honors John Gillam, of Newcastle University, who was one of the\u00a0‘founding fathers’ of the study\u00a0of Roman pottery using sophisticated approaches. The\u00a0award criteria state: ‘A wide range of work on pottery found in Roman Britain is eligible, including pottery reports (both published and grey literature), synthetic studies, websites, student dissertations, theses, etc that were completed within the last two years.’<\/p>\n
David says: ‘I thoroughly enjoyed working on the project. I realised from the beginning the importance of the assemblage found by the Upchurch Archaeological Research Group and I tried to do the best job that I possibly could. I hope the work I have produced will be a useful contribution to the field of Roman pottery studies. I am deeply honoured that the\u00a0SGRP John\u00a0Gillam Committee\u00a0awarded me the prize.’<\/p>\n
