Description: | Rim sherd of a substantial thin walled cooking pot or storage jar probably dating from the 14th or 15th centuries (1300-1450 AD). The fabric is a very hard fired earthen ware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit and quartz inclusions. The fabric colour is mid-brown black. The outer and inner surfaces of the sherd are a similar colour. There is no glaze present. From the rim of the sherd a diameter for the pot can be estimated, this would be approximately 17cm. Although the flared rim is 12.4mm thick the side walls of the pot are 3.5mm thick. The inner surface of the rim is slightly recessed as this may have allowed a lid or stopper to rest or seal the pot. | Subjects: | Rim Sherd | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Reavill, Peter - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
