Description: | Rim sherd of a substantial thin walled (grey ware) cooking pot or storage jar probably dating from the early Roman period (50-200 AD). The fabric is a very hard fired earthenware with frequent small angular and sub-angular grit and quartz inclusions. The fabric colour is mid-grey. The outer and inner surfaces of the sherd are a light grey colour. A series of impressed decorations are present around the upper part of the outer surface of the fragment; these are arranged in two horizontal bands with vertical impressed lines between. There is no glaze present. From the rim of the sherd a diameter for the pot can be estimated; this would be approximately 34cm. The sherd measure, 35mm length, 34mm width and is 9.5mm thick. It weighs 13.22 grams. | Subjects: | Greyware | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Reavill, Peter - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
