Description: | A rim sherd of a Roman Oxidised Ware vessel. The vessel has a thickened rim, which is triangular in profile. Below the rim the neck of the vessel tapers and the exterior has two horizontal rings or cordons as decoration. The fabric is fine grained, with a mid grey core and orange surfaces. In section a large dark grey inclusion is visible which may be grog or grit and two linear white inclusions. It is also quite micaeous. The breaks of the sherd are quite fresh. It weighs 28g. The diameter of the neck and the decoration suggest the vessel was a ring-necked flagon which Lee, Lindquist and Evans (in Cracknell and Mahany 1994 Roman Alcester: Southern Extramural Area 1964-1966 Excavations Part 2: Finds and Discussion CBA Research Report 97 p. 51-52) suggests dates to the late 1st to early 3rd century.
