Description: | The sherd is a body fragment of an unknown type of ceramic vessel. The vessel has a wide interior surface, and may be a dish or bowl. All edges of the sherd are broken, these are fresh breaks. In profile the interior surface is concave, and the exterior surface has a c. 45 ° angle. The fabric is a fine dark pink/red coloured body with very occasional white flecks within the fabric. The surfaces have a shiny red/brown coloured slip. It weighs 29.64g and is only slightly abraded.The sherd is probably Samian Ware, suggesting the vessel is a table vessel, rather than used for utilitarian purposes. Samian Ware was imported into Britain from the mid 1st to mid 3rd century (Webster, P. 1996 'Roman Samian Pottery in Britain' CBA Practical Handbook 13).
