Description: | A collection of seven sherds of pottery, ranging in date from the Late Bronze Age to the 14th century AD. All of the sherds are small and abraded, suggesting that they have been deposited during manuring activities. 1) One small sherd of (possibly) Late Bronze Age to mid Iron Age pottery, fairly undiagnostic. The vessel represented has flint tempering. With numerous large fragments of fire fractured angular flint inclusions, 4mm - 1mm. The outer surface is oxidised. Weight: 8.5g. 2) A small rim sherd of grog tempered ware, probably Romano-British 'East Sussex Ware', again fairly undiagnostic. The sherd has frequent grog and occasional polished ironstone inclusions, 1mm>. The rim form and the grog tempering suggests that this sherd represents a locally made ware. Weight: 6.2g. 3-6) Four small sherds of flint tempered ware, comprising 2 body sherds and 2 basal sherds. Medium to sparse angular flint inclusions, 1mm>, occasional polished ironstone inclusions, 0.5mm>. 2 of the sherds have orange/brown oxidised outer and inner surfaces. 13th to 14th century AD, typical of the local Ringmer medieval kilns. Collective weight: 31.2g. 7) A small body sherd of fine sandy ware. Green glazed (lead alloy glaze) on the outer surface, with evidence of linear decoration. Probably from a jug. 13th - 14th century AD, probably local source. Weight: 3.1g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
