Description: | The sherd is a fragment of a body of an unknown type of vessel.
The fabric is hard and fine. It is a light buff/orange colour and has a red/brown slip in varying densities on the surfaces. It may be an Oxfordshire Colour Coat Ware.
The sherd has been moulded to create the decoration on the exterior surface. This decorated consists of a small high relief, slightly pointed dome and a curved fine ridge. Young (Young, C. J. 2000 The Roman Pottery Industry of the Oxford Region BAR British Series 43) illustrates similar decoration on mortaria of Oxfordshire Colour Coat Ware, but the recorded sherd wall is too fine to be mortaria. Oxfordshire Colour coat Ware dates to c. 240-400. | 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: | 240
