Description: | A vessel sherd representing approximately half of the floor of a Roman Samian ware bowl. The sherd is convex, typical of the floors of Form 18/31 bowls. The fabric has a dark red-orange slip. On the lower surface is a basal ring (Th.: c. 8mm) whose diameter can be estimated at c. 100mm. Within this are concentric circles from the manufacturing process. There is a loss to the side of the ring. Almost nothing remains of the walls. Central on the upper suface is part of ?potter's stamp; only the letters 'SE?' can be seen. A manufacturer is difficult to identify on the basis of the partial survival of the stamp. The sherd can be attributed to the Central Gaulish potteries and be dated to the early 2nd-century .
