Description: | Two sherds from a green glazed jug, dating to c 13th-14th AD. One sherd is a body fragment with the beginnings of a thumbed base; the other consists of a fragment of a rilled neck. The body fragment has been decorated on the outside surface with a combed linear pattern, possibly done while the clay was leather hard. There are also traces of a light green glaze in small areas on the external surface, while the interior surface seems not to have been decorated at all and retains a light buff colour. It is difficult to discern what type of temper was used, but it seems to have been very fine, with no coarse inclusions visible. It weighs 17.82 grams.Although the rilled neck fragment is very worn, it bears nearly all of its darker green glazed interior, as well as a fine grey slip on the external surface. The projection of the neck/mouth of the jar is pronounced, making a 45 degree angle. Again, inclusions are difficult to discern due to the glaze and old breaks, but are very fine. The mouth of the vessel was approximately 3 cm in diameter. It weighs 5.77 grams.
