Description: | A fragment of a ceramic vessel of Roman date (AD 200-410). The fragment is a rim sherd; upturned rim of a probable Roman mortarium fragment. The rim is prominently upturned, and forms a shallow groove between that and the beaded interior rim. The fabric is severely abraded on all faces and is a heavily sand-tempered reduced grey ware. Any original slip or surface decoration is now lost. Greyware mortaria of a similar size, with upturned rims, are known from the Crambeck industry in the region; the condition of the object prevents a definitive association, however.
