Description: | PAS-RC07Grid F12Two 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 44.1mm in length, 32.2mm in width, 15.2mm in thickness and weighs 23.9 grams.The smallest fragment measures 29 mm in length 17.1mm in width, 13.8mm in thickness and weighs 5.6 grams.The fragments have a combined bulk weight of 29.5 grams.
