Description: | The rim sherd is possibly a Malvernian Ware cooking vessel. The wall of the vessel is quite straight with the rim forming a bulbous top in profile. The fabric has a mid brown/grey coloured core with dark brown/grey mottled surfaces. The exterior has been smoothed, particularly when compared to the rough interior surface. The fabric has quartz inclusions which vary in size. The fabric is slightly sandy as well. The Malvernian Ware dates to the late Iron Age to the mid Roman period, up to the 2nd century. The sherd weighs 19.7g. Similar material was found in excavations in Alcester (Booth and Evans 2001 Roman Alcester; Northern Extramural Area 1969-1988 Excavations. CBA.)
