Description: | A rim sherd from a Roman mortaria. It has a pale pink/yellow fabric with gritty inclusions visible on all surfaces, the surfaces themselves have a relatively smooth finish. The inner surface has larger irregular black,. white and red flint and gritty inclusions that create a rough grinding surface. At the top of the rim is a shallow central groove, while a double transverse groove is visible on the exterior surface of the rim. In form the rim is similar to Cam 499, which suggests a probable date range in the 3rd century AD. It measures 92.10mm in width, 36.92mm in height at rim, 53.85mm in length, 10.01mm in thickness, approximately 250mm in original diameter, and weighs 102.45g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
