Description: | A rim sherd of medieval pot. The rim is formed of a thickened outward lip, which tapers to a wall of around 7.9mm thickness. The pot would have been around 14cm in diameter, and is probably wheel-made. The unglazed inner and outer surfaces appear to have a dark coating suggesting either burnishing, or just extensive use in a hearth. The inner surface is partly worn away. The temper is fine, and consists of ironstone, mica and flint inclusions. The surfaces in general are fairly pitted. | 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: | 1100
