Description: | Three fragments of Roman grey ware pottery; two rim sherds and one body sherd, from at least two, but probably three vessels (the rims are definitely from different vesels). The larger rim sherd (c135mm by 70mm) is from a large storage jar, with a rim diameter of c50cm. The rim joins the body at c.95 degrees and is substantially thicker than the body (c. 20mm compared to c. 10mm). Immediately below the rim there is decoration consisting of an incised groove, and a zone of stamped decoration in the form of upside down 'V's. There are some marks from the wheel-turning on the inside. The piece is fairly abraded and the breaks are no longer sharp. The second rim is smaller (c.65mm by 45mm) and comes from a smaller vessel, c.35cm in diameter at the rim. The rim is sharply angled out from the body at approximately 85 degrees, with a very flat underside, and is slightly thicker than the body (12mm compared to 8mm). Approximately 23mm below the rim, there is an incised groove. There are some marks from the wheel-turning on the inside. Small white crystalline flecks are clearly visible in the fabric. The sherd is not much abraded, and the breaks are still sharp. The body sherd is c.42mm by 35mm, and is 8mm thick. It is undecorated on the external surface, and there some marks from wheel-turning on the interior. The sherd is fairly abraded and most breaks are no longer sharp, but there are some fresh breaks. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
