Description: | Sherd from the base of an unglazed Severn Valley style vessel, probably a jug or storage vessel, dating from the Roman period (50-350 AD). The fabric is of a soft fired earthenware with frequent small rounded and sub-angular quartz and grit inclusions. The fabric colour is mid-grey. The outer and inner surfaces of the sherd are a light orange red colour and the surfaces themselves are powdery and soft. There is no glaze present. The angle of the side wall rising from the base is approximately 50??. All the edges are worn and broken suggesting that the sherd has been rolled or abraded in the burial environment. From the bottom of the sherd a diameter for the base of the vessel can be estimated; this would be approximately 15cm. The sherd measure, 58.4mm length, 76.5mm width, 31.8mm tall, and is 13.9mm thick. It weighs 57.04 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Reavill, Peter - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
