Description: | 26 sherds of Romano-British sandy grey 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 coarse and sandy to the touch, buff-orange to orange-red in colour with some reduced grey patches. Some of the sherds have reduced dark grey-black internal surfaces one of which also has a dark grey-black external surface. Inclusions comprise abundant fine quartz grains and occasional iron oxide. Little can be said about the origin of these sherds except that sandy grey wares tend to date from the 2nd- 3rd centuries AD and are of fairly local origin. The sherds vary in size from 10.50 x 10.39 x 4.94mm thick (0.67g) up to 45.23 x 36.33 x 5.73mm thick (9.74g). The total weight of the assemblage is 86.04g. | 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
