Description: | Body sherd from a pottery vessel, not enough survives to indicate the form, probably dating from the medieval period (1300-1450). The sherd is irregular in plan and slightly curved in profile. The fabric is a hard fired earthen ware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit, and quartz inclusions. The fabric also has large amounts of mica within it. The fabric colour is a two tone. The outer and inner surfaces are a mid orange brown, whilst the central core is a mid grey colour. There is no glaze or applied surface present, and there is no evidence of sooting or heating in a fire. Not enough of the vessel survives to suggest the size or form of the vessel, and the sherd itself is particularly plough worn.
The sherd measures 32.4mm in length, 24mm width, is 8.5mm thick and weighs 5.78 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: | 1300
