Description: | 17 sherds of Anglo-Scandinavian coarsewares circa 850-1100. 6 fragments of vessel rim, and 11 fragments of vessel wall, all of which appear to be from jars or cooking pots.A variety of similar fabrics, all hard fired grey coarsewares with fine gritty inclusions. Some sherds are typical of Torksey-Type Wares - a hard dark grey fabric, with darker surfaces, and quartz grit inclusions creating a 'pimply' surface. Some have orange bands of oxidation between the surface and the core creating a 'sandwich' effect.All sherds are most likely circa 850-1100 AD in date, although there is a possibility that some may be particularly coarse late roman grey wares.The combined weight of all 17 sherds is 506g. The largest sherd measures 98.4mm x 68.9mm x 8.2mm (86g), and the smallest measures 29.2mm x 24.0mm x 17.4mm (12g). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
