Description: | A piece of a Roman ceramic vessel; a mortarium rim shard dating from AD210-320. The fabric is cream yellow in colour and hard. It contains many inclusions of black (slag?) tritulation grits. There are also iron rich black and red occasional inclusions, quartz, and small white clay pellets. The fabric seems to be similar to Crambeck Parchment ware (Tomber and Dore page 196, 1998). The wide, flange like rim has three circumferential ridges on the upper face. The shard has a length of 96.28mm, width 65.53mm, thickness 12.15mm, weight 130.68g. For reference see Lloyd Laing 2003. Pottery in Britain 400BC to AD 1900 p. 65 no:10. See also number 278 in Gillam (1968), which is also dated 210 - 320 AD.
