Description: | A rim shard from a Roman black burnished ware vessel. Very similar in form to black burnished ware type 3., listed in Excavations at Greyhound Yard, Dorchester 1981-4 (Woodward et al. 1993, p.230-1). These are 'cooking pots/storage jars with very everted rims' (ibid, p. 231). Woodward et al. (1993) suggest a date range from the 3rd century AD possibly up to the early 5th for these.The fabric is dark-brown in colour, with the remains of dark brown-black burnishing on the outer and inner surface, which is now heavily worn. Occasional medium grained quartz and mica, with more frequent red and black iron ore inclusions, and several medium sized, irregular voids. Probably fabric BB1, produced in the Poole Harbour/Wareham region.Length: 47.40mm, Width: 29.00mm, Thickness: 9.44mmWeight: 17.44gRim diameter: 12cm
