Description: | Large greyware fragment of the base of a vessel dating to the Roman period, (45-410AD). The fragment is sub-circular in plan, and flat. The internal fabric is mid-grey and the outer fabric is light-grey. It has been evenly fired. Circular grooves indicate that the vessel has been wheel thrown and the form of the fragment indicates that it was probably a jar. The object has a sandy smooth grey patina. Greyware is a common type of Roman pottery and was common during the 1st and 2nd centuries, but continued in use in some areas into the 4th century.
