Description: | One sherd of wheel-thrown mortaria with a rolling and hooked flange (52.2mm x 55.1mm; thickness at flange: 23.3mm; weight: 43.14g). The fabric has been fired to a fairly high temperature and has a creamy-white colour with a few black and red grit inclusions in the fill.This sherd is similar to examples of mortaria produced in Mancetter-Hartshill between the mid 2nd to early 4th centuries. Many kilns producing this pottery has been excavated along the Warwickshire/ Leicestershire border. The ware's distribution was extensive in Midlands and the north during this period. Reference: Paul Tyers, 'Roman Pottery in Britain', 1996, pages 123-4, fig 119, ref no 4.
