Description: | A rim sherd from a samian pottery bowl, probably of form 37 or 38 (see Webster, 1996, p. 47-51). The nature of the fabric (see below) suggests an East Gaulish origin. Such bowls were produced between c. 70AD and the mid 3rd century.The rim projects slightly from the edge of the bowl and the side extends downwards at a steep angle, increasing in thickness towards the bottom. The fabric is light pinkish-orange in section and has a deep reddish-brown slip.The sherd is slightly abraded. It measures 43.1mm high, 39.5mm wide and 7.8mm thick. The weight is 10.68g.
