Description: | A large collection of Roman pottery sherds, in excess of 500 pieces. Many of the sherds are undiagnostic. There is a large collection of grey ware fragments and red wares, some of which may be post-medieval in date. Diagnostic fragments include a rim from a vessel of CAM 268B, which dates from AD 125-325 and a number of rims from grey ware flanged bowls, which post date AD 270. There is a fragment of 3rd or 4th century mortarium, a fragment of 4th century South Midland shell-tempered ware and a fragment of colour coated ware, probably Nene Valley, which dates from AD 150+. There are a number of sherds of red Hadham ware from the 4th century. There is only one small fragment of undiagnostic Samian ware. The sherds are also accompanied by a selection of undatable Roman brick and tile. Dr Paul Sealey comments that this material represents a fairly typical Late Roman assemblage. The absence of a quantity of Samian ware suggests that any settlement in the vicinity was probably of lower status. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
