Description: | Pedestal base from a Roman beaker. The fabric is white/cream with traces of an orange slip suggesting that this is a Nene-Valley colour coated ware. This shard was however discovered with the use of a metal detector; a small tablet-shaped piece of copper-alloy is stuck to the base, with what might be a thin layer of iron corrosion lining the interior. Sooting is visible around the base of the pot.The copper-alloy appears to be contemporary to the vessel and migth suggest that the vessel was used as a cremation urn, with the metal being the remains of a grave-good. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
