Yes , the technology is straightforward ,particularly without a wheel . Dunno about the evidence for the scavenging ,doesn't Guy provide it ? More of an aside in a relatively dense book. You know the kind of thing, a lot of research behind a non-descript paragraph. The issue is just outside what are the concerns of the book - how, despite the existence of writing from the Roman Occupation, we are still largely ignorant of the day-to-day lives of those in Roman Britain. What fascinated me were potential issues of a technocracy and the impact of imperialism. If evidence of an aceramic Post-Roman Britain was anything more than informed extrapolation? Obvious to me now (post in haste etc) that we can never expect anything else from archaeology. Looking at the link you provided (thanks) and others leading from it then it is a tantalising possibility.
