Description: | A double rim and upper body sherd from a Roman Oxford Ware mortarium of probable 4th C. AD date. The uppermost rim is narrow and slightly angular in appearance, with a flat top. The lower rim is much wider and has a rounded outer surface. On its underside it angles sharply back upwards towards the main body of the pot, creating a hanging lip to the vessel. The upper and lower rims are separated by a flat band which stands vertically and measures 8mm high. The body of the vessel sits at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the rim. The fabric is mid-orange in colour. Coarse white and red grits have been impressed into the surface of the vessel. Some of this material has been lost, resulting in a number of depressions. The edges are fairly abraded.
It measures 50.8mm long, by 34mm wide and 24.2mm high at the rim. The side of the vessel is 5.7mm thick. Weight = 22.42g. The projected internal diameter of the rim is approximately 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: | 300
