Description: | A 1st-century Roman grey ware base sherd from uncertain vessel type. This fragment is the base of an open vessel, and is a dark grey colour with an orange red hue in places. There is a thin ridge which follows the diameter of the vessel around the interior of the base, and a distinct impression (probably caused accidentally rather than deliberately due to its size and nature) on the outer surface. This vessel was probably made at Rowlands Castle, a known local Roman pottery manufacturing site, as were the majority found in the vicinity as part of a large assemblage. The examples are similar to those at Fishbourne Roman palace, and are estimated (by comparison with those in Cunliffe 1971, 189; refs. 63, 64) to date to around AD 43-75, as does the entire assemblage.
