Description: | Two rim sherds of probable Romano-British grey wares datable from the 1st to 4th centuries AD. Both sherds have light grey cores and oxidised buff or pink-buff surfaces. Otherwise the two sherds have very different fabrics. One is comaparatively thin walled with a sandy texture derived from abundant white or clear quartz inclusions up to 1mm but generally less then 0.5mm. Ocassional iron oxide (<4mm) is also present. This sherd may derive from the Poole Harbour/ Corfe Mullen region. The form is similar to a Greyound Yard type 2 jar from the 2nd-4th century. It measures 61.44 x 32.23 x 7.28mm thick (26.79g).
The second sherd is much coarser and thicker walled containing frequent poorly sorted sub-angular quartz grains (<2.5mm) and occasional shale/limestone (<6mm). It derives from a globular jar of closed form with short upright neck and flattened rim with slight external flange. It measures 51.89 x 46.17 x 10.38mm thick (38.89g). | 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: | 43
