Description: | The base from a Roman ceramic vessel, dating from AD 100 - 300. The fabric is fine grained and of an orange colour and has a number of very small, white inclusions, possibly quartz. The base is flat, circular, and has a diameter of 40.25mm. Above the base the walls of the vessel flare outwards, suggesting that it could possibly be from a beaker or small flask. The base is 39.6mm in diameter and 24.7mm high. It weighs 26.7gm.Possible parallels for a vessel of this configuration are illustrated in Gillam, 1968, Types of Roman Coarse Pottery in Northern Britain. Compare, for example, numbers 38 and 57.
