Description: | A fragment of a wheel-made ceramic vessel of Roman date (AD 43 - AD 410). Length 65.0mm, width 112.0mm and about 6.0mm thick. Weight 97.03g.
The fragment is a rim sherd of an unclassified coarse-ware and when complete the diameter of the rim would have been about 180.0mm. The rim is everted and the coarse fabric is lightly tempered with angular flint, rounded sand and possibly mollusc shell or chalk. It has a dark grey core with an orange inner surface and a dark grey outer surface. There are traces of burnishing on the outer surface. The breaks are very abraded and this is, no doubt, a result of the vessel having being in contact with the mobile sand and shingle in which it was found within the inter-tidal zone near High Water Mark. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Frank Basford | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
