Description: | The sherd is a rim fragment of a probable ceramic bowl. The bowl has a wide hooked flanged rim and a bead on the interior edge of the rim. The bead is now missing, only the broken edge remains. All edges of the sherd are broken recently, the sherd is slightly abraded. The fabric is a fine mid orange coloured with occasional cream coloured inclusions. The surfaces have an incomplete shiny red/brown coloured slip. The sherd weighs 4.9g.
The sherd is probably Samian Ware, suggesting the vessel is a table vessel, rather than used for utilitarian purposes. Samian Ware was imported into Britain from the mid 1st to mid 3rd century (Webster, P. 1996 ?Roman Samian Pottery in Britain? CBA Practical Handbook 13). | 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
