Description: | Medieval rim sherd thrown pot or jug, of soft (can be scratched with a fingernail) grey gritty fabric with no evidence of glaze. Though unglazed, the vessel has what appears to be a reduced grey core but this is probably an effect caused by the outer faces being stained a brown grey, probably by an attempt to produce a slipped finish. Probably from a medieval sagger pot or jug. This form would suggest the vessel dates to the first half of the Medieval period (c1100 to c1300 AD). However care is needed as it may be from a local and highly conservative tradition and could be any date from c1000 to c1400. Also, the rim is rolled which is more Roman in character but the fabric seems to poor quality even for locally produced Romano British ware. It may possibly be late Romano British to Early Medieval in date.The length is 37mm, width 21mm, thickness 12mm (rim) 4.5mm (body), and the weight is 9.4g.
