Description: | A rim shard from a ceramic vessel, dating from the Roman period. The fabric is a smooth (slipped?) grey ware. It is hard, smooth and the texture is fine to irregular. It is a light grey coloured core, with a slightly yellowish grey outer surface which has worn off on the angles (possibly a slip). There are fairly sparse, well sorted clear angular inclusions (quartz) and also occasional black fragments (iron slag?). The rim is everted and folded back on itself to make it almost square in section and has a diameter of 220mm. The shard is 66.6mm long, 25.55mm wide and 13.19mm thick. The wall is 4.64mm thick. The shard weighs 18.34g.
