Description: | Two thin walled body sherds of medieval (1250-1450) earthenware pottery. These two sherds fit together along a relatively recent break. The other breaks are worn. The conjoined sherd probably came from the body of either a storage vessel or cooking pot. The fabric is relatively hard with a number of rounded and sub-angular quartz, and broken burnt pottery inclusions. The fabric colour is a light grey white and the outer and inner surfaces are a mottled grey. This two-tone effect has been caused by low temperatures within the kiln and is typical of early pottery. Neither of the two sherds is glazed. Due to the smallness of the sherd the circumference of the vessel cannot be estimated. When the two sherds are joined they measure 41.2mm length, 33.7mm width, 6mm thick and weigh 9.08 grams. | 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: | 1250
