Description: | A large rim fragment of a very large greyware Roman everted jar (Diameter c. 280mm by extrapolation from the sherd's curvature). The fabric is a dark grey, with some brown colour on the inner surface. There is what appears to be a deliberately incised double line on the inner surface, just where the rim joins the body. This vessel was probably made at Rowlands Castle, a known local Roman pottery manufacturing site. The examples are similar to those at Fishbourne Roman palace, and are estimated (by comparison with those in Cunliffe 1971, 211; ref. 161) to date to around AD 43-75, as does those found in the vicinity. The sherd is in quite good condition, although in the outer surface of the rim a small area has been abraded to what could almost be called a dent. The outer surface also has a brownish patina which extends over half the fragment. | Subjects: | jar | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Shipley, Lucy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
