In total they weigh 999 grams.The sherds have a orangey-red oxidised fabric. Several variations on the oxidised fabrics are present, which probably relate to different kilns and different clay sources. It is very similar in style to Severn Valley Ware. Typically this style of oxidised ware dates from 2nd to 4th Centuries AD. No vessel form could be easily identifiable from the bodysherds present but it is likely that a range of ulitarian vessels such as storage jars, tankards and cups are present.Sherd specific details:Fabric type: local (unsourced) oxidisedFiring condition: oxidised exterior, oxidised core, oxidised interior.Hardness: HardSurface texture: Smooth, powderyCondition of sherds: Variable.
