Description: | A pair of worn base sherds from the same greyware Roman strainer, probably specifically a colander. They both are of a sandy brown fabric with some micaceous inclusions. They are brown in colour with dark brown coated exteriors. One, the larger, is curved: there is an angle of around forty five degrees between body and base. The base of the vessel features a number of perforations for straining arranged in relatively neat rows. Based on its curvature the base would have had a diameter of c. 80mm. The sherds are both of irregular form, respectively: L.: 65.4mm, W.: 48.7mm, Th.: 12.6mm, Wt.: 37.35g; L.: 56.85mm, W.: 33.95mm, Th.: 11.9mm, Wt.: 19.9g. The greyware probably has a New Forest provenance. | 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
