Description: | Two Roman vessel sherds of locally produced white wares.
The larger sherd is a small fragment of the bowl flange of a mortarium (bowl with embedded grits in the base & sides used for grinding herbs, spices, etc.). The flange created a ledge for gripping the mortarium firmly whilst grinding up ingredients.
The smaller sherd is an undiagnostic standard white ware body sherd.
Both sherds most probably date to the 2nd Century (c.100-200 AD). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burrill, Charlotte - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
