Description: | Two abraded sherds of earthenware pottery probably dating to the later Medieval or early Post Medieval periods (1400 ? 1550). Both sherds have a very decayed glaze present; this is a light yellow green colour and is probably a very decayed ?Tudor? green glaze. It is likely that both these sherds are from domestic pottery types such as jars or flagons. The fabric of both sherds is relatively soft and both exhibit a two tone (grey inner and orange outer) fabric colour. This two-tone effect has been caused by low temperatures within the kiln and is typical of pottery of this date. There are a number of angular and sub angular iron stone, broken pottery and small sand / silica inclusions. Due to the small size of the sherds the diameter of the individual vessels cannot be estimated. The largest sherd measures 33.2mm x 24.7mm x 4.3mm; the smallest measures 26.1mm x 34.4mm x 5.3mm. The total weight of all three sherds is 8.61 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: | 1400
