Description: | 16 fragments of Roman pottery.
The average size of the pottery fragments are 45mm by 35mm by 6mm.
Eight of the fragments are wall shards. One of the pieces is a fragment of a base.
The other five fragments are rim shards. Of the rims shards, one has a flat top, probably for a lid, this form has similarities with the Derbyshire Ware style. Similar examples that were excavated from the Sea Mills were dated to the late first to early second century and were classed as jars (Bennet, 1985, 24, 47-48).
Two have large curved necks so that the lip lies at a right angle with the rest of the vessel. These belong to storage jars that have been dated to the late first to early second century (Bennet, 1985, 12, 41).
The curve on the neck of the other three is less pronounced, similar examples have been dated again to the late first to early second century (Bennet, 1985, 12, 41), all are from jars.
The fabric is grey coloured with occasional sub angular inclusions, sand tempered, all the fragments are Severn Valley Ware.
There is also a large shard of Black Burnished ware rim and a wall shard and a base shard | 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: | 50
