Description: | Complete Roman Black Burnished 1 urn, dating from the 2nd-3rd century AD, i.e. from c. AD125-250. The urn was found complete with only some rim fragments missing (which have been subsequently found and recorded). The urn is undecorated, showing no signs of lattice decoration or any other pattern. It was excavated by the local FLO. The urn was excavated in four layers (1-4) and there is no need for a more detailed report: all four layers contained mainly soil and only very little bone fragments and nothing else. The biggest bone fragment of up to 10mm long were found in the bottom of the urn with only little or no bone fragment in the top 25%. Except for a pebble and some burned charcoal, nothing else was found amongst the soil and the bones. All in all the ratios were: Layer 1: 1%bone, 1%charcoal, 98% soil ; Layer 2: 5%bone, 2%charcoal, 92%soil; Layer 3: 20%bone, 5%charcoal, 75% soil; Layer 4: 25%bone, 5%charcoal, 70%soil. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
