Description: | Three fragments of Roman New Forest greyware, probably from a closed jug or flagon like vessel of Type 20 (Fulford 1975, 96). The attribution is due to the black colouration on the outer surface, which could be slipped on as he suggests, and the profiles of all three fragments which fit the related illustrations and suggested vessel forms (ibid, 95). If one accepts this attribution, it may be suggested that the sherds date to c. 270-350 AD. One sherd has some deeply scratched lines present on the outer surface, but is suggested that due to the unfamiliar shape and orientation of them, in addition to their coarseness, that they are caused by abrasion. There is a tiny patch of what appears to be a glaze on the inner surface of the handle sherd.
Dimensions:
Handle Sherd: H.: 28.9mm, W.: 46.56mm, Th.: 8.93mm, Wt.: 38.5g
Body Sherd (larger) H.: 44.7mm, W.: 48.7mm, Th.: 4.75mm, Wt.: 14.75g
Body Sherd (smaller) H.: 30.87mm, W.: 20.6mm, Th.: 4.8mm, Wt.: 5.35g | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Shipley, Lucy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
