Description: | Two body sherds of unglazed earthenware pottery probably from a two similar vessels dating from the medieval period (1200 ?? 1350). Not enough of the sherds survive to be certain of the form or size, without this a more specific date is difficult. The sherds are most likely to be from a cooking pot or similar vessel as there is evidence of both heating and sooting on the exterior faces. All the sherds are abraded and the fabric of the sherds is a relatively hard earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular quartz and pottery (grog) inclusions. There is also a large amount of mica in the fabric. The fabric colour of the sherd is two-tone colour with a relatively uniform dark grey fabric core and a reduced orange red coloured exterior and interior face. Due to the smallness of the sherds the diameter of the vessel cannot be estimated.
The sherds measure:
1: 38.6mm length, 38.9mm width, is 10.3mm thick, and weighs 14.66 grams.
2: (possibly from the base of a vessel) 28.8mm length, 27.4mm width, is 12.1mm thick, and weighs 8.74grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Reavill, Peter - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
