The Romano-British Roadside Settlement at Wilcote, Oxfordshire III. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781841716121)

Wilcote lies on Akeman Street between Alchester and Asthall. This volume reports on a series of excavations by A R Hands and Cotswold Archaeology that investigated the settlement that developed around the road between the later 1st century and the mid 2nd century, reviving for a short duration in the early 4th century. Emphasis is placed on Wilcote's place within a wider economic system, functioning as a market centre, as a supplier of stone and tile and as a processor of animal products. Much of the volume comprises reports on the finds, many of which are illustrated, including coins, brooches, other metalwork, coins, pottery, building materials, glass, bone objects and environmental remains.
