Roman Tools; help needed

[Crispianus]

Great, thanks! Was not aware that thread was still alive . But please, guys, do send me more stuff, as I want to get a comprehensive overview of the different tools used per craft. As far as I can tell, this is not yet available anywhere, so I thought to try my hand at this.

Unfortunatly large catalogues of tools dont seem to be that common, with many tools being shown as small finds in excavation reports or specific articles on individual tools and to that end you might try a site called Artefacts which can turn up some very interesting results, though it may give better results if french is used? :

And will also give you many references to follow up, in this case:

"G. Jacobi, Werkzeug und Gerät aus dem Oppidum von Manching (Die Ausgr. in Manching, 5),Wiesbaden, 1974."

Sometimes links to specific articles for download are included...
