Description: | Ceramic pottery body sherd. It is wheel turned and made of a soft rough fabric, dark grey on the outside surface, with an orange/red hue towards the inside of the core and light grey on the inner surface. The fabric contains large white glassy inclusions (quartzite?). The inclusions have a low sphericity sub-rounded structure, with an estimated biggest grain size of 2.0mm. The grain frequency is frequent. The sherd measures 37.7mm long x 24.2mm wide x 8.1mm thick, weighing 8.03g. The curvature of the shard suggests a vessel with a diameter of 140mm. The vessel is likely to be Roman in date.
