Description: | PAS-RC07Grid G7Two body sherds from Severn Valley coarseware pottery vessels, as the fabric, colour and thickness differs in each sherd it is likely that two vessels are represented in the assemblage. Not enough survives of the sherds to indicate the form or overall vessel size. The sherds date from the Roman period (50 - 410).Both the sherds are irregular in plan and broadly sub-rectangular in profile. They are also worn and abraded by movement in the ploughsoil. The fabric is a relatively soft fired earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular black grit (possibly coal measure rock / coal) and sparse quartz inclusions. The fabric is also mica rich. The colour of the fabric varies but is broadly a uniform mid orange to orange-brown colour. These sherds vary in thickness and most probably represent cooking and storage vessels.The largest sherd measures 23.9mm in length, 19.3mm width, is 9.2mm thick and weighs 4.7 grams. The smallest sherd measures 22.9mm in length, 19.2mm width, is 5.6mm thick and weighs 2.4 grams.The two sherds have a combined bulk weight of 7.1 grams.
