The Riddle of the Sands: Pudding Pan Roman shipwreck

Résumé

This paper presents the results of investigations into the history and nature of a Roman shipwreck site known as Pudding Pan. The study included investigations of the nature and range of artefacts recovered, the locations and possible sources from which artefacts have been recovered, and the possible destination of the main consignment.  What might the recovered assemblage tell us about samian manufacturing processes?  This paper will conclude with a summary of the on-site investigations that have been undertaken in search of the main wreck.
