Description: | A base sherd from a late Iron Age to early Roman pottery vessel. Similar pottery was found in Belgic layers at Verulamium (R.E.M Wheeler and T.V.Wheeler; 1936; pp. 153-4) dating from between c.10BC and 50AD.
The sherd originates from a wheel-thrown carinated bowl of large diameter. The remaining portion of the side angles inwards slightly from the flat base. The outer face has two concentric decorative grooves a short distance up from the bottom and a further groove below. The fabric is mid grey and has grit and sand inclusions. It is likely that this was a locally made vessel.
The sherd measures 68.3mm long, 19.4mm wide and 35.5mm high. The sides are 7.9mm thick and the weight is 32.41g. | Subjects: | Pottery | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
