Description: | 48 basesherds of several wheelthrown ceramic vessels of an miscellaneous (unsourced) local Romano-British greyware fabric.The sherds vary in thickness from 5.00mm to 9.97mm. In total they weigh 953 grams.The sherds have a reduced grey fabric. Several variations on the greyware fabrics are present, which probably relate to different kilns and different clay sources. Typically this style of greyware dates from 2nd to 4th Centuries AD. Flat base forms predominate the assemblage but there are a couple of variations including a pedestal base for a beaker or similar style vessel. The flat bases are most likely from utilitarian forms such as storage jars.Sherd specific details:Fabric type: local (unsourced) greywareFiring condition: unoxidised exterior, unoxidised core, unoxidised interior.Hardness: HardSurface texture: Smooth, powderyCondition of sherds: Variable. Some sherds demonstrate a high degree of abrasion, with rounded edges whereas other sherds have sharp, fresh breaks.A representative selection of the basesherds have been photographed.
