Description: | A shard from an early Roman black burnished ware vessel. The rim is flat above and very slightly everted, with a groove encircling the outside of the vessel at its base. It is very similar to coarseware vessel form 26 in 'Excavations at Greyhound Yard, Dorchester' (Woodward et al. 1993, p.260), which is dated to AD c.75-120 suggesting a similar date for this vessel. The outer surfaces of the fabric are an oxidised light orange in colour, whilst the inner core is a reduced grey. The fabric is hard and fairly rough in texture, tempered with abundant medium sized, rounded grains of quartz and occasional medium sized grains of black iron ore. Unburnished outer surface. Probably fabric BB1 or 30 (ibid. p.249).Length: 57.22mm, Width: 42.54mm, Thickness: 14.41mm
