Description: | Pottery rim sherd from a shallow bowl or dish with dark-brown exterior surfaces with some carbonized remains, and a lighter brown interior with pale feldspar, dark augite and quartz inclusions in the fabric, which suggest that it is made of gabbroic ware. The shape and fabric are similar to that of local dishes found on Romano-British sites in Cornwall, such as Trethurgy or Chysauster, that are copying the Black Burnished ware dishes being brought in from South-East Dorset.
Quinnell (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 126, Fig.60, No.142, which is dated from the 3rd to the early 4th century AD. | 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
