Description: | A finely made coarseware neck jar with rounded but well-defined shoulder. According to Cunliffe (1971), vessels in this category range in size from 11-20cm. This rim has been measured on a rim chart; the result suggests that this jar would have had a diameter of approximately 146mm, which further suggests that this vessel is a neck jar of this type. Only one large wheelmade rim sherd remains (weighing 42g). Cunliffe illustrates a variety of different rim forms, which occur within this type of vessel, he states that their shoulders maybe completely plain or defined on the lower side by a cordon or groove. This sherd is plain. This type of vessel was a very common vessel type at the Fishbourne Roman Palace excavations, occurring 35 times in Period 1 layers (c. AD 43 - 75), this type of vessel does not appear to outlast the first century AD. The wheelmade rim has been highly finished and has a smooth surface. The rim has the characteristic S-shaped section, which ends with a depression and slight angle before the rim turns into the main body of the vessel. The rim has a thin section between 5-6mm. The clay does have some very small mica inclusions
