Description: | A fragment from the neck of a Roman ceramic flagon.The neck angles outwards into the concave underside of the rim, which has a vertical outer face and angles inwards at the top. The fabric is mid orange and has occasional large chalk inclusions, smaller, angular dark inclusions and is micaceous. Traces of the reddish-brown slip are visible on the outer surface. The edges are abraded. It measures 29.3mm high, 40.6mm wide and weighs 9.36g.The form and fabric of this piece suggest it may be part of an Oxfordshire red/brown-slipped ware flagon (cf. Tyers 1996: 176/fig. 219, ref. C8.7). This industry began in AD c. 240 and continued until the end of the 4th century.
