Description: | Five body (and one rim) shards from Roman black burnished ware vessels. All five fragments are of a fairly similar fabric. The first two are slightly thicker and coarser, plus darker (grey-black) in colour. Both of faces of these shards appear to have been burnished. The third shard is slightly thinner and finer, but also has two burnished faces. The final two shards are also thinner and finer, but are only burnished on the outer surface, which is slightly lighter in colour with a buff patch on one. The first shard appears to have come from the rim of a vessel, but it too small in size to take an accurate diameter measurement.All shards have plentiful medium size clear and white quartz, sparse red and black iron ore (occasionally quite large in size) and sparse mica inclcusions. All appear to be BB1 fabric, which was produced in the Wareham/Poole harbour region between the 1st and 4th centuries AD. 1. Length: 25.86mm, Width: 19.19mm, Thickness: 9.66mmWeight: 4.80g2.
