   The Jaccard correlation coefficients for the Flavian and the Trajanic-Hadrianic periods suggest that, whilst Brenley Corner is more similar to Canterbury (71 per cent and 63 per cent of the respective periods, taking all types studied into account) than is Radfield (57 per cent, 48 per cent),

 these roadside sites exhibit mutual similarity to Rochester (around 50 per cent for both sites in both periods) and to each other (53 per cent, 43 per cent). The similarity between Rochester and Canterbury in the two periods is expressed as, successively, 42 per cent and 56 per cent. Although significance tests for Jaccard’s coefficients have not been formulated, intuition suggests that these figures, with the possible exception of those of Canterbury-Brenley Corner, emphasise neither marked positive nor negative correlation. Certain wares, such as
