Description: | Two rim sherds of hand-formed roman pottery, c1st to 4th century. One sherd has a coarse fabric with a light to mid grey core and a burnt orange surface. There are moderate, well sorted sand inclusions ranging from 0.5-1mm. There are some rare, poorly sorted stone inclusions, 0.75-2mm in diameter. It probably formed part of a dish. The sherd is 45.75 wide, 34.68 high and 11.59 thick. It weighs 18.06 grams. The second sherd is also a coarse fabric. It has a grey/cream fabric with a orange/red slip present on the lower section of the exterior surface. There are moderate well sorted sand inclusions ranging from 0.3-2.5mm. There is also some moderately sorted rare silver mica. The rim has a 'pie-crust' effect where the clay has been pinched. The form was probably a jar. The sherd is 45.40 wide, 25.59 high and 10.31 thick. It weighs 13.63 grams. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
