31 Finds from the left-hand side of the riverbank, as one approaches Pumsaint from the direction of the mine, made by the late J.F. Jones, are published in Boon's paper on non-ferrous mining in Britain, Roman, Apulum ix (1971), 500Google Scholar and fig. 50. Not mentioned is a mortarium-rim stamped FLVGVD. The tiny piece of a monumental inscription is also published in Britannia i (1970), 307, no. 11.Google Scholar Finds from the right-hand side are published by B. and H. Bumham in Carms. Antiquary xxii (1986), 3–13Google Scholar, with pottery listed by P.V. Webster. The same note also includes a useful bibliography. Boon's strong recollection is that street-metalling within the fort, in the area opened in 1972, was composed of milled quaitz. This is not mentioned in the interim reports by Jones and Little (Carms. Antiquary ix (1973), 3–27Google Scholar; x (1974), 3-16), but if correctly noted would of course link the garrison with mining-activities very intimately.

38 The reference in Britannia xxii (1991), 210Google Scholar to ‘a satellite industry carving cornelian gemstones’ cannot be left as it is. There is a single intaglio from Dolaucothi, a ring-stone in nicolo, not cornelian, showing a satyr; it is an old find, and because it was attached by natural concretion to a small pebble has erroneously been represented for very many years as indicative of gem-cutting on the spot. The only cornelian is a plain oval slip in the remains of a handsome hinged gold bracelet, a component of the 1796–7 hoard of gold jewellery found in a field behind the mansion of Dolaucothi (British and Carmarthen Museums, the ensemble shown by Nash-Williams, V.E., Bull. Board of Celtic Stud, xiv (1952), 81–2Google Scholar, pl. v. See also BM Cat. Jewellery Greek Etruscan and Roman (1911), Nos 2741–2, 2787–8). Lead isotope analysis, which could not be arranged some years ago though gold from Dolaucothi was available, would be well worth attempting in the hope of deciding whether these ornaments were of local gold and hence, perhaps, local manufacture.
