Description: | PAS-RC07Grid F9Two fragments of possible ceramic building material. The fragments are relatively robust and it is possible that they could be large sherds from Severn Valley vessels: however from their shape, it is more likely that they are fired remnants of rough brick or tile. The fabric of the fragments is very similar to Severn Valley pottery dating from the Roman period (100-400 AD). However such a tight date cannot be suggested for these as this form of pottery is very local - and therefore the clay source would have been used throughout the historic periods. The fabric of the sherds is very soft earthenware with a powdery surface, a uniform mid orange to orange-brown colour and has grog temper with inclusions of black iron stone. There is no clear evidence for burning on these fragments.The largest fragment measures 36.2mm in length, 31.2mm width, is 16.9mm thick and weighs 19.8 grams.The smallest fragment measures 31mm in length, 16.8mm width, is 15mm thick and weighs 6.6 grams.The fragments have a combined bulk weight of 26.4 grams.
