Description: | 33 sherds of Romano-British Grey Ware, probably made in the Alice Holt/Farnham region, recovered in association with a large quantity of Roman coarseware sherds from a small 1.5m square patch of garden. The fabric is fine and sandy to the touch, ranging from light grey-buff to dark grey-black in colour. Inclusions consist of abundant very fine quartz, invisible to the naked eye, and moderate fine mica. 20 of the sherds are undecorated body sherds ranging in size from 40.51 x 27.36 x 4.61mm thick (6.84g) to 17.20 x 15.98 x 3.96mm thick (1.68g). Six further body sherds are carinated and probably derive from necked jars. The smallest also displays parallel incised groove decoration and measures 22.12 x 19.14 x 4.72mm (3.38g). The largest has a small hole just below the carination 2.67mm wide and 6.93mm long. This may have been for suspension as there is no residual evidence for a pot-mend. This sherd measures 35.22 x 29.95 x 4.51mm thick (7.08g).Three conjoining sherds are from a cook-pot/storage jar with everted rim, 160mm in diameter. This vessel may be a Greyhound Yard type 2 jar datable to the 2nd-4th century AD. These sherds measure 51.22 x 40.89 x 5.19mm thick (15.03g); 41.21 x 37.20 x 5.58mm thick (12.95g); and 29.38 x 28.36 x 5.31mm thick (4.98g). The remaining four sherds are all small abraded everted rims and datable only to the 1st-4th centuries AD. They range in size from 25.86 x 20.36 x 6.97mm thick (6.11g) to 19.77 x 13.34 x 5.55mm thick (1.44g).the total assemblage weighs 139.33g.
