Description: | A base shard from an Medieval earthenware vessel. The shard has a dark brown-grey outer surface, with a slightly lighter inner core and a much lighter pinky-brown inner surface. There are numerous (probably fossiliferous) shell inclusions of a variety of sizes, and sparse, large, shiny black inclusions, which are possibly iron ore or slag. The fragment is hard and soapy in texture, with a much abraded outer surface. Very similar to the St. Neots ware fabric dating to the 13th century, suggesting a similar date for this vessel. The small size of the fragment makes it difficult to determine the precise form of the original vessel. However, it does appear to have a fairly small base, above which the sides begin to widen almost immediately, suggesting a vessel with a wide girth and the greatest diameter either at the shoulder or below the waist. Length: 30.95mm, Width: 46.20mm, Thickness: 9.36mm Weight: 18.42g
