Description: | Four rim sherds from Roman grog-tempered jars. All the jars have wide everted rims; three are plain and one has a slightly rolled outer rim. The fabric is mostly medium grey with abundant grog temper and darker grey surface, some have oxidised to medium orange. The diameters vary from 140 to 320mm in diameter at the outer edge and 110-200mm at the neck constriction. The largest (98 grams) has fresh and abraded breaks and traces of sooting on the outer side (see image); the others are abraded. In Hampshire tempering with grog was common in the second half of the 4th century, although was known earlier. A combined weight is given below.
