Description: | This sherd is a roman lug handle probably from the shoulder of a jar. The fabric appears to be a Crambeck product (Tomber & Dore 1998, CRA RE). Production a the Crambeck site is generally held to be from the late 3rd- 4th century with the main period of export in the later 4th century, vessels for this production centre are common site finds north of the Mersey-Humber line up to Hadrians Wall (Evans 1989, 43). Finds south of the Humber are more scarce but an increasing number of sherds have now been recognised from a survey of the Scunthorpe Museum collections and from other PAS finds which suggest that a small quantity of vessels from Crambeck were distributed to Northern Lincolnshire. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Staves, Lisa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
