Description: | A complete ceramic wheel made Roman New Forest fine ware indented beaker, reassembled from a main core and some separate sherds. It has an orange oxidised fabric with a fine sand temper which has been hard fired. The surface has been coated with a dark orange-brown slip. The beaker is Fulford's (1975, 50, 52-3) Type 27, an indented beaker with a tall straight body and it is possible that the beaker belongs to his second sub type with a sometimes quite prominent beaded rim (Type 27.11-12).The rim is distinguished by an incised line and measures 79.25mm internally in diameter. It expands slightly from the rim to the body (Dia.: 106.1mm). The main body forms a zone c. 100mm in height and features six indentations. Below this zone the beaker narrows to 50.9mm just above the base, the base being slightly beaded. The base's underside in slightly concave and features the spiral caused by the wheel. There are circumferential throwing marks up the length of the beaker. The broken sherds have been glued in place by the finder.It is possible that the pot is a waster as the slip is patchy, being dark brown in places and brownish orange in others. The slip is also patchily absent from one half of the pot, and this cannot have been from wear if the pot was never used.
