Description: | A body shard from a coarsely made ceramic vessel, probably Roman. The matrix is a dark grey-brown in colour. There are frequent large angular inclusions of a white material, probably calcite. These inclusions are up to 6.5mm in length and 4.2mm wide. There are also occasional black or dark coloured similar large inclusions which are shiny. The fabric is rough and has a hackly fracture. The outer surfaces of the fragment are very dark grey, except where pieces of the white material show through, but the core is a little lighter and has more brown tones. The shard is 52.3mm in length, 49.2mm wide, and 13.1mm thick. It weighs 34.33gm. There is a decorative groove on the external face which would probably have been circumferential. This fabric may be a Huntcliffe Calcite Gritted Ware from East Yorkshire.
