Description: | Rim sherd of an unglazed earthenware pottery vessel dating from the medieval period (1150 ?? 1300). The form of the vessel is likely to be that of either a storage jar or cooking pot. The sherd has a slightly recessed rim which is similar to that exhibited in examples recorded by Barker (1970 24-27) from Brockhurst Castle 1154-1255), Shropshire. The fabric of the sherd is a relatively hard earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit, quartz, and pottery (grog) inclusions. There is also a large amount of mica in the fabric. The fabric colour of the sherd is a mottled light grey colour. A suggested diameter of the rim is 25cm, however the sherd represents only 5% of the rim and the diameter is therefore an estimate. The height or capacity of the vessel cannot be estimated. The sherd measures 33.8m length, 19.6mm width, is 6.6mm thick (rim), 3.3mm thick (body) and weighs 3.85 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Reavill, Peter - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
