Not something one would have thought to occur in Sweden but then they didn’t
think they would find it in Ireland either

Alas, no.
I was talking with someone the other day about an MA project someone did on
the Terra sigilata found in Sweden. She told me that something like 87% of
it all came from a single vessel (which sounds kind of impressive), so I
asked how many pieces of TS had been found in Sweden: something like 23.
Hmm. Great. One import vessel, the rest carried over in ballast? Who
knows...

mostly there is no time for such stuff in commercial archaeology.
