Description: | A base of a Roman slipped vessel, probably a bowl. The base is flat except for a pedestal-like groove running in a circle 10mm in from the outer edge of the base. The fabric is hard and fine with mica inclusions. The core is dark grey and unoxidized. The fabric is light orange in colour, the interior and exterior surfaces are slipped and light brown. The sherd is 119.40mm in length and 39.89mm in height. The foot is 72.71mm wide, the walls of the vessel are 5.01mm thick and the sherd weighs 74.78g. Uncarinated course ware bowls were common in the late 1st to 2nd century (Laing.2003:68). However without the rim it is difficult to give a more precise date.
