ABSTRACT
A TYPOLOGY OF ROMAN LOCKS AND KEYS
This thesis addresses a gap in materials studies within archaeological research by
developing a functional typology of Roman lock and key forms for analytical and topical
research.
Section 1 introduces the reader to the background of the research, as well as the
author’s approach in chapters 1 and 2. A brief synopsis of the material’s literal and
cultural background is provided in chapter 3.
Section 2 develops the physical typology via examination of the available
materials to outline the various lock and key forms as they appear. Chapter 4 examines
the anatomy of locks and keys to establish terminology and address ancient lock
operation. Chapters 5, 6, and 7 detail the various forms and diagnostics which comprise
the typology.
Section 3 examines the materials in a physical context to establish
precedence for continued work in Chapter 8. The typology is concluded and listed are
avenues for future research.
