Description: | A ceramic mortarium rim sherd. The fabric is hard with a fine texture and is an off-white/light buff colour. The vessel has small red/brown grits and white and pink quartz coloured situation grits. The rim has a bead and flange.
The sherd is slightly abraded and is only a fragment of the complete vessel. It weighs 32g. The sherd was possibly made at Mancetter, Warwickshire. Mortaria from Mancetter dates to the 2nd to 4th centuries (Tyers, P. 1996 ??Roman Pottery in Britain?? Routledge; p.123). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
