In total they weigh 787 grams.The sherds have a slightly soapy feel, fine grained fabric with occasional red inclusions. All sherds demonstrate coarse grit placed on the interior surface. It is similar in style to a white-ware mortarium fabric, from one of the Oxfordshire kilns, typically of 2nd to 4th century AD dating . Several rim types are present, from simple bead rim, to flanged and one example of a wall-sided rim. One sherd demonstrates a maker's stamp, but is unfortunately too abraded to be able to be read and identified. All base sherds exhibit a flat base.Sherd specific details:Fabric type: Oxfordshire white-ware mortariaFiring condition: oxidised exterior, unoxidised core, oxidised interior, with coarse grit present.Hardness: HardSurface texture: Smooth, slightly soapy.Condition of sherds: Variable.
