Description: | The sherd is a base fragment of an unknown vessel. The sherd is made from Samian Ware, suggesting the vessel is a table vessel, rather than 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). The base is incomplete, approximately only a third remains. The interior of the base is slightly convex with a fine circular low-relief ring in the centre. Across this ring is a potters stamp, which reads 'I . M'. On the exterior surface of the base is an integral foot ring. The ware has a fine orange/red coloured body with a deep red shiny surface. It weighs 17.1g and is slightly abraded.
