Description: | A thick worn and abraded rim sherd from a Roman mortarium, or mixing and grinding bowl. The light fabric can be identified as Oxfordshire white ware. The profile of this rim is distinctive, with a groove just below the rim and a thick channel between the rim and the continuation of the body wall. On the internal surface some of the extra ('tituration') grits included to aid grinding can be seen. The diameter of the complete mortarium would have been c. 400mm, based on the curvature of this sherd. | Subjects: | Mortarium | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
