Description: | Eleven sherds of abraded hand made south western gritty greyware of second to fourth century AD date. The sample comprises five rim sherds and six body sherds. Three of the rims are everted and the other two have external thumbed impressions below the rim. The gritty fabric contains various inclusions including flint and quartz pieces, some of which are quite large (up to 3-4mm) and angular and pieces of a sparkly rock, which is possibly permian lava. Some of the quartz pieces are rounded and white in colour. The sherds have reduced cores but some have one or more oxidised surfaces. These sherds probably come from large storage jars. The production site for this fabric is thought to have been near Norton Fitzwarren near Taunton, Somerset.Total weight: 166g | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
