Description: | A sherd of a ceramic wheel-made vessel. The fabric is slightly soft with a pale pink core and surface, the other surface is a pale yellow. There are a frequent inclusions, including red and yellow coloured clay slithers/pellets of varying sizes and some ironstone. The sherd is slightly curved, but it is difficult to tell which the interior, exterior or where from the vessel it came, possibly the neck or rim. The vessel wall is 14.86mm thick and weighs 23g. The sherd is abraded.The vessel is possibly Mancetter/Hartshill mortaria. The thickness of the wall suggests a utilitarian vessel. There are no situation grits visible which would confirm the mortaria identification, but it is possibly part of a rim.
