Description: | A rim sherd of a Roman Samian Ware vessel. The rim is profile is a sub-??n?? shape with the exterior of the rim having a horizontal groove. In profile the wall of the vessel is only slightly convex on the exterior and concave on the interior. The broken edges of the sherd are quite fresh. It weighs 19.6g.
The sherd is Samian Ware, suggesting the vessel is used as table ware rather than used for utilitarian purposes. The vessel was probably a bowl or dish. Samian Ware was imported into Britain from the mid 1st to mid 3rd century (Webster, P. 1996 ??Roman Samian Pottery in Britain?? CBA Practical Handbook 13). | Subjects: | Bowl or Dish Samian Ware | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
