Description: | A body sherd of rusticated Roman greyware pottery. The fabric is fine and sandy and pale grey in colour. The sherd weighs 19.9g and measures 58.7mm in width (around the circumference of the pot). The surface of the sherd has rusticated decoration in the form of five wavy lines at the top, which are drawn up from the surface of the vessel rather than applied. This type of decoration was a feature of vessels used by the army between about 50-120AD. The Castleford excavation report, Volume III (The Pottery) has similar examples of rusticated greyware coming from the Fort in Phase I & II c.AD 71/4 - c.AD 100.
