Description: | Forty seven sherds of mid 13th to mid 14th century sand tempered cooking pots and jugs. The sherds mostly have a pale orange to beige outer surface, most have a pale grey reduced core and some are extensively sooted.There are 37 body sherds weighing a total of 240 grams and varying from 5.1 to 7.6mm thick. At least one jug has traces of a pale yellow glaze and an applied strip with 'pie crust' shaping on the outer side.There are three possible base sherds weighing 42 grams. They suggest the pots have flat bases meeting the walls at 45 to 60 degrees.There are seven rim sherds. Most appear to flare back out near the top at 120 degrees to the vessel walls before ending in an edge which is expanded outwards. One of the expanded outwards edges is semicircular, the others are sub triangular with rounded corners; most have flat tops. The fragments are mostly too small to estimate the original diameter and the largest piece has an irregular curve. They weigh 93 grams. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
