Description: | Two sherds of separate Black Burnished Ware Roman jars. The largest (74.72mm x 84.11mm x 8.71mm) is a rim sherd from a Greyhound Yard type 2 jar. The external surface is burnished and the internal surface is brushed. External sooting suggests it has been used over a fire. The fabric is dark grey throughout with a hint of a partially oxidised internal surface. Inclusions include abundant small sub angular quartz up to 1mm, moderate ?lias limestone up to 5mm and isolated iron oxide up to 1mm. The fabric suggests that this may be a local copy of the Poole harbour tradition.The smaller fragment (67.45mm x 45.71mm x 7.94mm) is a neck sherd with rim missing. The external surface is burnished with a dark grey/brown colour. The core is dark grey with buff/orange margins. The internal surface is oxidised orange/brown. The inclusions include abundant poorly sorted sub-angular to rounded quartz grains up to 1mm and isolated iron ore up to 1mm. It is possibly part of a Greyhound Yard type 2 jar. Both sherds can be dated to the 1st-3rd centuries AD | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
