Description: | A rim sherd of a Hampshire Grog-tempered Roman vessel (c. AD 270-c. 410).The everted rim is from a jar and the fabric is an orange buff colour, densely tempered with off-white and mid-brown grog. It is estimated that, when complete, the outer diameter of the rim would have been about 20.0cm.Dr Malcolm Lyne, Roman ceramics specialist, has commented that this type of jar dates c. 270-c. 410 and that Hampshire Grog-tempered ware is handmade and was probably produced on the Island as a successor to Vectis Ware.The breaks are old and abraded.28.0 x 45.2mm.
