Description: | One wheel-made pottery sherd from a Roman fine ware ceramic vessel. The fabric is light to mid grey with very few evident inclusions. Along the breaks it can be noted that the fabric is smooth and fine grained (silty) to the touch. The outer margins are very thin, coated with a dark grey to black slip. This outer surface is highly burnished and individual brush strokes are evident.
This is probably a sherd of a pottery type called 'Terra Nigra', produced in Gaul during the late 1st century BC into the 1st century AD and found distributed across Britain. The items produced in this material were fine table wares for serving food & drink. This sherd is probably part of a pedestal bowl.
