Description: | One sherd of Calcite-Gritted type ware. A pale grey fabric, with frequent grit inclusions (up to around 04mm).
The outside surface of the vessel is a pale buff, with a slightly pimply surface (due to the inclusions). The inside surface of the vessel is a red-orange, possibly slipped or painted, and has become vesicular due to loss of inclusions.
The sherd appears to be an eccentrically thickened everted/recurved rim from a large jar (the vessel wall is 08mm at its thinnest, whereas the rim thickness reaches 19mm). Most likely circa 280-410 AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Crump, Barry - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
