Description: | Greyware fragment of a vessel dating to the Roman period, (45-410AD). The fragment is part of the body of the vessel and the form indicates that it was probably a jar. It is sub-triangular in plan, and slightly curved in profile. The internal fabric is mid-grey surrounded by a layer of orange. The outer fabric is light-grey and there are frequent small inclusions. The object has a smooth sandy 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.
