Description: | PAS-RC07Material collected out of grid.Three sherds from Severn Valley coarseware pottery vessels, including one body sherd and two rims. As the fabric, colour and thickness differs in each sherd it is likely that different 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).All 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.One rim is too small to be diagnostic.The largest rim measures 47.1 mm in length, 29.1 mm width, is 7.9 mm thick and weighs 12.4 grams. It has a diameter of c. 14 cm, however only 5% remains and so this is not accurate.The body sherd measures 27.1 mm in length, 24.5mm width, is 9.4mm thick and weighs 5.9 grams.The bulk weight is 23.9 grams.
