Description: | A single sherd from a ceramic vessel. The sherd is from the area where the base curves upwards to form the wall. Weight 5.84g, thickness of the base 6.22mm, thickness of the wall just above the base 4.20mm. Maximum height of the sherd 11.30mm. Use of a rim chart indicates that the vessel base had a diameter of 75.00mm and that about 21.25% of the circumference of the base survives. The fabric of the sherd is very pale creamy white with a dark grey reduced outer surface at the base which seems to possibly be changing to lighter grey at the top of the sherd. The fabric is very fine with few inclusions visible through a hand lens. A couple of probable quartz and mica inclusions are visible. This sherd is from a Roman fine ware vessel.
