Description: | Four sherds of Roman pottery. The sherds are fairly undiagnostic so a precise date range cannot be given. Two of the sherds are body sherds, both of which have burnished surfaces. These sherds are adjoining sherds. The clay appears to be of a high quality as no inclusion can be seen with the naked eye. One of the sherds is a fairly crude body sherd. The outer edge of this sherd also looks slightly burnished, but it is perhaps more likely that the outer edge of the pot was smoothed off by the potter before firing. Again no inclusion can be seen with the naked eye. The fourth sherd is a rim sherd. The rim proper is everted, again the surface of the sherd look smooth, either burnished or simply smoothed off. No inclusions can be seen by the naked eye. The breaks do look worn but the sherd is not that abraded. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
