Description: | 17 sherds of Black Burnished ware. Poole/Wareham industry BB1 fabric. Reduced dark grey to black fabric (occasionally buff or orange oxidised) with abundant, rounded, translucent, quartz sand (up to 2 mm), occasional shale, iron and flint pieces (up to 5 mm). All are rim sherds from bowls/dishes with dropped flanges and flat bases (Exeter type 47). The rims are pointed and the dropped flanges are short and bead like. Such vestigial flanges are considered to be a later form of such vessels. All the sherds are abraded, but many retain traces of exterior and interior burnish. Handmade vessels.

Weight: 174g
