Description: | Sherd of Late Iron Age ceramic vessel. This sherd represents approximately one third of the rim and part of the body of a local British copy of an Iron Age Gallo-Belgic butt beaker. The outer surface of the fragment is a mottled red and dark grey, whilst the inner surface is red throughout. The fabric has a sparse black grog and sand temper and includes fine silver mica, typical of East-Anglia and Essex clay. The vessel is decorated with two parallel grooves that run around the pot, 23.7mm below the rim, which is also echoed around the maximum girth of the pot, beneath the rim. The fragment is in two pieces, a small portion having broken away to reveal a fresh break edge. The combined weight of the two sherds is 50.94g. Beakers of this type date from c.15BC to Ad 50, and possibly a little beyond.
