Description: | 17 sherds of Anglo-Scandinavian coarsewares circa 850-1100. 6 fragments of vessel rim, and 11 fragments of vessel wall, all of which appear to be from jars or cooking pots.
A variety of similar fabrics, all hard fired grey coarsewares with fine gritty inclusions. Some sherds are typical of Torksey-Type Wares - a hard dark grey fabric, with darker surfaces, and quartz grit inclusions creating a 'pimply' surface. Some have orange bands of oxidation between the surface and the core creating a 'sandwich' effect.
All sherds are most likely circa 850-1100 AD in date, although there is a possibility that some may be particularly coarse late roman grey wares.
The combined weight of all 17 sherds is 506g. The largest sherd measures 98.4mm x 68.9mm x 8.2mm (86g), and the smallest measures 29.2mm x 24.0mm x 17.4mm (12g). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Crump, Barry - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
