Everywhere the monotonous Roman culture meets the eye.

To pass from Glastonbury to Woodcuts is like passing from some old timbered village of Kent or Sussex to the uniform streets of a modern city suburb.

Life at Woodcuts had, no doubt, its barbaric side.
One writer who has discussed its character with a view to the present problem[3] comments, with evident distaste, on 'dwellings connected with pits used as storage rooms, refuse sinks, and burial places' and 'corpses crouching in un-Roman positions'.

The first feature is not without its parallels in modern countries and it was doubtless common in ancient Italy.

The second would be more significant if such skeletons occupied all or even the majority of the graves in these villages.
Neither feature really mars the broad result, that the material life was Roman.
