Description: | 1 large sherd of pottery. It has a reduced dark grey core and oxidised buff surfaces. The fabric is tempered with abundant, fairly coarse sand. The sherd is part of a strap handle and rim from a jug/pitcher. The handle attaches to the upper surface of the rim, rising slightly and tapering before curving downward into a thick sub-rectangular section before it is broken (this break is more recent than those on the vessel rim). The upper surface of the handle is stab decorated with four short slashes at the rim and two longer ones as the handle narrows before the break. On the underside the handle has been attached with a fairly rough strip of clay pressed between the handle and the wall of the vessel. Handmade. There is some abrasion to the breaks on the rim, but the break across the handle is fresh and unabraded. Identified by Lorraine Mepham as a fabric from South East Wiltshire/East Dorset kilns.Date: Medieval. Late 12th to early 14th century
