Description: | Earthen ware pottery vessel body sherd, probably early medieval, middle Saxon period, c.AD700-900. Reduced fired fabric, dark grey surfaces, mig-grey core; uneven thickness so probably hand-made rather than wheelthrown; numerous quartz sand inclusions, and common large (up to 2.5mm) iron rich reddish inclusions. Weight 22.72g. Probably from globular cooking pot/storage vessel.
This was seen by Howard Jones of Trent and Peak Archaeological Unit who said it was very similar to some middle Saxon pot from Brough, given the fabric name FE by Alan Vince. | Subjects: | earthenware | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Atherton, Rachel - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
