Description: | Pottery body sherd of a wheel-thrown grey ware vessel with internal ribs running horizontally in concentric bands along the interior of the sherd.
The fabric is uniform in colour throughout and is fine and micaceous. This suggests that it may be Exeter Micaceous Grey ware which copied BB1 forms and was produced in south-east Devon from the late 1st to the early 3rd centuries AD. But similar grey wares (Fabric 151) which have micaceous surfaces but no distinct mica plates, as in this example, have also been found in excavations at Exeter, and were being produced at an unlocated southwest industry between the mid 1st century and the late 2nd century AD. (Bidwell, 1979, p.194)
This type of micaceous grey ware has also been identified at other Roman period sites in Cornwall, such as Trethurgy (Quinnell, 2004, p.106, No.5.5.5), Carvossa (Carlyon, 1987, p.111, Fig.3, Nos.70-72) which are dated from the late 1st to the early 2nd century AD, and Kilhallon (Carlyon, 1982, p.159, Fig.3, P21). | 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: | 50
