Description: | Sherd of late roman shell tempered pottery. A relatively hard, dark grey/black fabric with a lighter grey core. There are moderate white micaceus/calcite inclusions up to around 3mm in size, and smaller shell fragaments (around 1mm in size).The surfaces are smooth (possibly burnished) to both exterior and interior, though slightly irregular. The outer surface is decorated by two incised parallel bands running horizontally across the sherd. The bands are approximately 2.5mm thick, and 23mm apart.The fabric is similar to Dales Type Wares and is most likely Late Roman (c250-340AD), probably from a storage jar.
