Description: | Body sherd from a Roman Black Burnished ware vessel. The sherd is abraded and the burnished surfaces have been lost. it is a coarse, hard, granular grey-brown fabric. It is tempered with abundant rounded quartz (less than 2mm), occasional rounded shale (less than 2mm) and possibly some very small fragments of flint. The sherd is very abraded and weighs 15.97g. Without the diagnostic rim or base it is not clear which form of vessel it came from.It is probably from the broader South West production area which spread into South Devon rather than BBI Poole-Wareham ware. The date range for this fabric is also very wide from the 1st to the 5th centuries (Seager Smith and Davies 1993, 249). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
