Description: | A ceramic rim sherd of a utilitarian vessel. The rim is quite thick and bulbous. The fabric is orange with a mid grey core. It is soft to touch and has small and medium sized black grit mica inclusions. The sherd is abraded. It weighs 12.6g. The sherd is probably from a jar dating to the Roman period and is made of Severn Valley Ware. Severn Valley ware dates to the mid 1st to 4th centuries (Webster, P 1976 'Severn Valley Ware: A Preliminary Study' Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society Vol. 94, p. 20).
