Description: | Three sherds from a Roman greyware vessel. They are all angular base sherds and weigh 119g, 87g, and 38g respectively. The largest has a maximum length of 112.3mm, and width of 100.3mm. The middle sheard has a maximum length of 93.2mm, and width of 65.6mm. The smallest has a maximum length of 79.7mm, and width of 35.6mm. Collectively they form the majority of the base of an incomplete vessel. This base would have had a thickness of 9mm in its centre, rising to 12.7mm at the point where the sides begin. The sides themselves taper as they travel away from the base. The base would have had an internal diameter of c.80mm and an external diameter of c.96mm. There are a number of arcs on the base which are presumably the lines caused when string was used to remove the vessel from the wheel by degrees. On the grey-coated inner sides there are slight ridges every 7.7mm. The profile of the fragments suggests that they once formed part of a bowl with a maximum diameter of approximately 250mm. | 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: | 200
