The second season's excavation at Fishbourne was concentrated on the eastern part of the southern field, shown by last year's work to be occupied by the eastern wing of the Period 2 building. In addition, trial trenches were dug in other parts of the village in order to examine the extent and nature of the Roman settlement (fig. 1).
page 1 note 1 Most of the administrative work was shouldered by Mr. and Mrs. A. Rule and Mr. A. H. Collins, to whom I am very grateful. My thanks are also due to Professor I. A. Richmond, F.S. A., and Mr. S. S. Frere, F.S. A., for their help and advice.

page 3 note 2 These were difficult to distinguish from the actual natural gravel; the distinction depended entirely on texture. Those sections of trenches B and c shown as ‘conjectural’ were not traced, although they must exist.

page 3 note 4 Another explanation, possible though not satisfactory, is that the building was unfinished.
page 5 note 1 The stratigraphical and dating evidence show only that the road belongs to Period I. A Phase B date is preferred on the grounds that it is unlikely that two roads were set out so close together at the same time.
page 7 note 1 This suggestion was made by Mr. S. S. Frere.

page 7 note 5 I am indebted to Mr. S. Potter for bringing this process to my notice and for demonstrating it. Pliny, however, describes the use of sand and an iron saw for cutting marble (Nat. Hist, xxxvi, ix).
page 10 note 1 The fact that the apse conjoins rooms 37 and 39 must mean that either the dividing wall had been demolished at this time, or it was a sleeper wall.
page 12 note 1 I should like to express my gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. N. Anderson of ‘The Bays’ and Mrs. R. Blakeney of 65 Fishbourne Road, for allowing us to dig up their gardens and for their continued enthusiasm and encouragement even in the face of towering spoil dumps.
page 12 note 2 The masonry buildings are here numbered consecutively. When the street plan of the settlement is more fully known, it may be possible to number the buildings by reference to insulae.
page 12 note 3 It is, of course, quite possible that buildings 2 and 3 represent the same structure. The black and white mosaic (Building 5) found in 1937 may also belong to it.
