165 Wheeler, op. cit. (note 158), 241–6. He makes the significant remark, ‘it is to be inferred that the earlier series formed an integral part of the continued occupation of the site …’ In that earlier series there are two examples each of Ritterling 8 and 12, four of Form 24 and at least 13 of Form 29.
