Description: | Rim sherd from Roman bowl. Verulamium type of late 1st C. AD date. The rim projects at a right angle from the side of the vessel. It has two linear indentations (following the line of the bowl) in its otherwise flat surface. The end of the rim is distinctive in that it is not rounded, but instead is angled sharply back towards the vessel (see photo). The side of the vessel angles outwards slightly, suggesting that the main body of the vessel was wider than the rim. The fabric is a pinkish-creamy colour and has blackening around the base of the rim. There are no inclusions visible.
It measures 21.8mm long, by 16.4mm wide and 13.9mm high. Weight = 4.9g. The projected internal diameter of the vessel is between 200 and 300mm. | 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: | 43
