Description: | The base of a vessel in a hard gritty and sandy grey coarse ware with a pinky-yellow core. There are occasional large fragments of crushed stone / quartz temper.
The base sherd has been trimmed down to form a smooth circular disc and the remaining outer edge of the base appears to have a circular groove worn into it; the base sherd appears to have been reused as a runner or pulley. Although it is unclear when this occured, it must have been when the base was still visible to the eye and not buried or contained within a rubbish pit, so it is probably roughly contemporary with the use of the ware during the Roman period.
The possible 'pulley' sherd measures 39.07mm in diameter, is 15.90mm thick and weighs 23.8gms. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Byard, Anni - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
