List of figures and concordance

Except for the fragments shown in Fig. 116, all the illustrated shoes are from recent excavations. At present they are stored and catalogued by site, so that three items of information are required to identify a given object: the site codę (TL 74, BIG 82 etc.; see below, Appendix 1), the archaeological context number (in sąuare brackets) and the accession number (in triangular brackets; a continuous seąuence of numbers, uniąue within each site). The datę appended to each entry is, in every case, the datę at which the layer containing that object is thought to have been deposited (Appendix 1). Those items which were submitted for identification of the wood or leather are marked with an asterisk, together with a brief notę of the result. Further information about the leather types may be found in the archive report (Edwards 1986), which is permanently stored in the Museum of London.
