Description: | A body sherd of a ceramic mortarium/mortaria. The fabric has a slightly soft with a powdery surface and has quite a fine texture. It is a brown/cream colour rather than the more usual white colour. The upper surface has situation grits consisting of grey and white quartz. The sherd is abraded, and weighs 12.5g. The sherd is probably Oxfordshire white ware mortaria, which dates to c. 100 to beyond 400 AD (Young, C. 2000 The Roman Pottery Industry of the Oxford Region BAR British Series 43 pp. 61ff). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
