Description: | Two sherds of Black-burnished ware that were originally part of the same vessel. The larger sherd measures 97.5mm x 64mm; thickness: 9mm; weight: 81.79g. The smaller sherd measures 56mm x 38mm; thickness: 9mm; weight: 18.60g. The larger sherd has an everted rim with beading. There are ribs running along the rim and neck with a slight groove before the body of the vessel slopes outwards. The smaller sherd is also part of the rim and has the same decoration. The outside of both sides is burnished while the inside becomes lighter brown towards what would have been the bottom of the pot. From the shape and angle of these sherds, the pot (when complete) would have been of a substantial size and rather deep with a large rim diameter and rounded body.
These sherds are very similar to cooking pots or storage jars from Greyhound Yard, Dorchester which were were dated from the 2nd century AD onwards (Seager Smith & Davies 1993, Type 2; 230 fig 122). This also indicates that Black-burnished ware vessels were distributed widely throughout most of England | 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: | 100
