Description: | Body sherd of an unglazed earthenware pottery vessel probably dating from the later medieval period (1350 ? 1500). The fabric of the sherd is relatively hard earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit, quartz and decayed organic inclusions. The fabric colour of the sherd is two tone, the centre is a mid charcoal grey colour and the inner and outer surface a mid orange brown buff colour. This two-tone effect has been caused by low temperatures within the kiln and is typical of early pottery. Due to the smallness of the sherd the diameter of the vessel cannot be estimated. It measures 31.3mm length, 38.2mm width, is 5.3mm thick, and weighs 4.25 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: | 1350
