Description: | 13 sherds of greyware pottery of probable 1st to early 3rd century AD date. They are likely to be of local manufacture. The sample includes eight rim sherds, four body sherds, a base sherd and a handle fragment.
There are three main fabric groups:
(a) Reduced mid to light grey fabrics with fine sand temper and occasional larger stone pieces (up to 4mm) and grog.
(b) Reduced mid to light grey fabrics with moderate rounded quartz sand temper and occasional other inclusions.
(c) Reduced light grey fabrics with large mixed temper including sand, grog and large stone pieces (up to 5mm).
Three of the rim sherds are from large storage jars, three are from smaller jars and two are from bowls. The handle is from a flagon or handled jar. One of the body sherds is decorated with a lightly incised lattice pattern.
