4.III.2 above) on coastal sites and at Canterbury; wide-flanged vessels from
the Verecundus industry (possibly established at Silchester) at Richborough
(Hartley 1968, Fabric D, no. 98) of a date in the latter half of the second
century; and a rectangular 'hammer-head' flange-rim from the Rhineland
at Dover (Hartley 1981, no. 381). A fine, slightly sandy buff (or brown)
ware of unknown source, probably in southern Britain or on the Continent,
and producing mortaria with rounded or elliptical stubby flanges and
near-vertical pendant flanges, is represented at Dover (ibid., nos.
382-5, 387), Wye (unpublished) and Canterbury (Jenkins 1950, nos. 56 and
possibly 58; Jenkins 1952, nos. 24 and 26); the type is dated by Hartley
(1981) to c. A.D. 160-230, but the Canterbury vessels may

include mid-third century examples (Jenkins 1952). This type has not been
recorded on west Kent sites by the present author, but does occur in the
central-northern region (see below).
The range of amphorae in east Kent in this period parallels
that in the west, with the addition of the Canterbury ware (see above).
Finds of South Spanish wares are confined to unstratified contexts except at
Canterbury (Arthur 1986) and Richborough (Callender 1968). Other,
unstratified finds include South Gaulish Dressel 30 at Highstead (Arthur
forthcoming) and possibly Wye (unpublished), and a wider range of types at
Canterbury and Richborough (references as above). These have not been
studied by the present author, however.
