Description: | A body sherd from a Roman Oxfordshire Ware vessel. The sherd would have been typically decorated with slip on both internal and external surfaces but the decorative surface has now completely worn off. The sherd is bright orange in colour and the fabric is notably micaceous. The sherd weighs 4.92g.Oxfordshire fine wares are though to be copying Samian Ware. Although not as common on Roman sites in South Somerset and Dorset as the New Forest Wares, Oxfordshire Ware vessels are represented on excavated sites such as Dorchester (Woodward et al 1993) and Ilchester (Leach 1982). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
