Description: | A base shard from a ceramic vessel, dating from the Roman period, probably a beaker of jar form, similar to number 165 in figure 20 of Gillam (1957). These seem to date from the late 1st to early 3rd century. The fabric is a greyware. It is smooth, soft and the breaks are worn. It is a light grey colour with a slightly lighter layer immediately under the surface of the walls. The inclusions are not clearly visible in the breaks but seem mainly to be quartz and dark grey particles which are poorly sorted. The base is very slightly hollow underneath, and the walls flare strongly from the base. The base is 60mm in diameter. The shard is 36.14mm tall and the wall is 8.29mm thick. The shard weighs 60.25g.
