Description: | A fragment from the rim of a handmade pottery vessel of possible Early Medieval date. It has a dark grey fabric with many white flint and other indeterminate inclusions but no mica. The sherd has an out-turned rolled rim beneath which the wall of the vessel thickens to a sharp carination. The exterior surface is relatively smooth, however the interior is very unevenly finished with numerous depressions. It measures 63.29mm in height, 51.46mm in width, 6.10mm in thickness (beneath rim), 9.79mm in thickness above carination, and weighs 30.92g. It is suggested that this sherd may be of Early Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date due to the fabric and finish of the vessel, perhaps belonging in the 5th century AD. However it should be noted that similar vessel forms and fabrics are utilised in the Iron Age and consequently an earlier Iron Age date cannot be ruled out entirely. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
