Description: | The sherd is a base fragment of an unknown type of ceramic vessel. The vessel has a broad, slightly convex, interior surface, and may be a dish or bowl. The exterior surface has a c. 45 ° angle. All edges of the sherd and are slightly abraded. The fabric is a fine mid pink/orange coloured body. The surfaces have an incomplete shiny red/brown coloured glossy slip. The sherd weighs 3.8g. The sherd is probably Samian Ware, suggesting the vessel is a table vessel, rather than used for utilitarian purposes. Samian Ware was imported into Britain from the mid 1st to mid 3rd century (Webster, P. 1996 'Roman Samian Pottery in Britain' CBA Practical Handbook 13).
