Description: | A rim and upper body Nene Valley Roman pottery sherd, dating from the 3rd-4th century AD. The rim is roughly flat on top and rounded elsewhere and protrudes at a right angle from the body of the vessel. A narrow flattened border separates the base of the rim from the upper body and contains traces of brown paint or slip. The upper side of the vessel forms an angle of approximately 70 to 80 degrees, suggesting that the sherd probably came from a large bowl. The fabric is creamy white in colour and is fine in appearance, with only occasional small stone inclusions visible. The edges are slightly abraded.
The sherd measures 87.9mm in length, 25.7mm in height and 15.6mm in width at the rim. The wall is 6.7mm thick. Weight = 36.27g. The projected internal diameter of the vessel is approximately 180mm. | 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: | 200
