Vol.1:
This study traces the history of the upper Walbrook valley in the City of London from prehistoric to late Roman times by examining the evidence from six sites
excavated in 1981-84. The report consists of ten parts: an introduction (Part 1); a study of the site evidence (Parts 2-6); a summary of the finds (Part 7); a
multidisciplinary environmental analysis for one of the sites (Part 8); dendrochronology (Part 9) and the conclusions (Part 10)

Vol.2:
This report concerns 1st and 2nd century buildings and occupation on the western of the two hills on which Roman London was built, and is in five parts, the first of which is an introduction.

Vol.3:
Excavations in 1981 and 1986 revealed massive Roman foundations in the waterfront area of the south-west quarter of the City of London, and also shed light on earlier observations made during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Together these have provided the evidence for at least two periods of major public works within the south-west quarter of the late Roman walled town.

Vol.5:
.This volume presents the early Roman pottery from the City of London, both typologically and as chronological groups, for the period 50-160. The text
is divided into seven chapters and five appendices. The introduction (Chapter 1) provides a short history of Roman pottery studies in London, and outlines the main data base used here. One site, Newgate Street (GP075), provides a framework for the early Roman sequence, due to its well-defined
stratigraphy in conjunction with nearly one tonne of pottery. Although some intrusive pottery was identified from the sequence, detailed analysis indicated that this did not distort the overall ceramic conclusions. The problems of the site and its sequence are set-out both in this chapter and in Appendix 1.
The evidence from GPO75 was supplemented by quantified data from nine other sites throughout London (Fig 182). By amalgamating the data from these ten sites it was possible to construct five ceramic horizons or ceramic phases for this period. These will provide an important basis for testing future ideas about the variability of ceramic distribution within London, as well addressing other questions of a social and economic nature.
In addition to this quantified data, incidence records noting presence were interrogated for over 250 London sites in order to test the conclusions presented
here. Finally, the typology was enhanced by the illustration of complete vessels present in the Museum of London Reserve Collection.
