Template:SHORTDESC: Romano-British Pottery was produced from the 1st through the 5th centuries AD in Britain, during the period of occupation by the Roman Empire.[1] Before the invasion of the Romans, pottery in Britain was handmade and fired in a bonfire. The Romans introduced the new technology of fast potters wheels and kilns for firing. The newer manufacturing methods resulted in a pottery that was different from the previous period's pottery. Wheel thrown pottery ceased to be produced after the End of Roman rule in Britain.[2] Romano-British pottery has a thinner, harder and smoother fabric than both Iron Age (800 BC–100 AD) and Anglo-Saxon pottery (500–1066 AD).[3]
