Description: | 7 sherds of Romano-British Severn Valley Ware, generally small and abraded, recovered in association with a large quantity of other Roman coarseware sherds from a small 1.5m square patch of garden.
The fabric is slightly soft and sandy to the touch, orange to orange-red in colour with some reduced grey patches. Inclusions comprise frequent fine quartz grains and mica with occasional iron ore and grog. Five are small abraded body sherds, which vary in size from 17.93 x 16.65 x 4.57mm thick (1.31g) up to 29.97 x 17.05 x 5.96mm thick (3.90g).
The other two sherds are conjoining base sherds with a slight, beaded foot ring from a vessel whose base was 58.75mm in diameter, possibly a carinated bowl. There is a concreted deposit of ?mortar on the interior surface of each sherd. They measure 58.15 x 41.72 x 4.98mm thick(21.01g) and 48.26 x 39.73 x 4.80mm thick (19.23g). The total weight of the assemblage is 51.92g. | 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: | 100
