Description: | An incomplete ceramic beaker of Rowlands Castle ware. Roman, third century. AD 200 - AD 300). When complete, the outer diameter of the rim would have been approximately 90mm. The brittle fabric is dark grey and is generously tempered with small pieces of white rounded quartz. The body has a complete circular indent and parts of two other indents are situated at the same level, one at each side, close to the breaks. Except for the rim, all the edges are in the form of old abraded breaks, probably as a result of being in the mobile environment of the inter-tidal zone where the sherd was located.The form is a rare type and others have been found at Fishbourne Roman Palace, East Sussex (Pers. Comm. Dr Malcolm Lyne). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
