Description: | Rim sherd from a Roman pottery jar or cooking pot. The rim extends out from the main body of the vessel at an angle of approximately 90 degrees and has a shallow lid seat around the outside. This provides a suggested date of late 1st to early 2nd C. AD. The underside of the rim angles back towards the outside of the pot at an angle of approximately 45 degrees and there is a sharp break between the two elements. The sides of the pot are concave, suggesting that the pot was probably bag-shaped. The fabric is black and is shell-tempered. Slightly abraded.
The pot probably originated from the Harrold kilns. The sherd measures 33.5mm in length, 24.4mm in height and is 8.2mm thick. Weight = 9.7g. The projected internal diameter of the pot rim is 80mm. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 75
