Description: | A rim sherd from a Roman greyware vessel. In section it takes the form of an apostrophe. As such it seems similar to a number of mortaria rims sherds illustrated in Laing (2003, 63-65). Inclusions in the fabric of the pottery together with its profile thus suggest that this fragment might once have formed part of the rim of a Roman mortarium, or food preparation bowl. Further, the hooked style would indicate a 2nd- or 3rd-century date for this sherd. | 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
