Description: | A body fragment of a wheel-thrown Roman bowl. The wall is curved in shape, part of a cordon can be seen on the upper part of the sherd and a girth groove can also be seen around the middle of the sherd, just above the widest part of the vessel. The fabric is fine, with moderate fine sandy inclusions and rare larger (approx 1.10mm) white and grog inclusions. The sherd is light brown in colour with some darker brown-grey areas on the outer surface of the vessel. The sherd is 120.18mm L x 63.46mm W, and 5.25mm thick. The sherd weighs 48.13g. The vessel is probably a bulbous, wide mouthed bowl with a wider body than rim. This type of bowl began being produced in the 2nd century AD (Laing, L. 2003:68).
