Description: | A base sherd from a Roman ceramic vessel.The base is flat and has wavy comb marks on its underside. The side forms an angle of approximately 60 degrees with the base and has rilling on its inner face, providing evidence of wheel throwing. The fabric is off-white with a creamy brown core, sand-tempered and has occasional grog inclusions.Dimensions: diameter of base (remaining): 71.4mm; surviving height: 31.8mm; weight: 70.61g.This would appear to be a sherd of Verulamium-region white ware, a coarseware produced in the St. Albans area during the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. The steep side suggests it was probably part of a jar or jug.
