Description: | A rim sherd of probable Roman date (AD 200-410). Plain, beaded rim of a straight-sided vessel. Medium-grey at the core, thinly oxidised to a pale brown at the surfaces. The surfaces are abraded. A clean sherd break was visible for identification purposes, but an abundant sand temper is evident and the fabric has been very hard-fired.This fabric is, perhaps, one of a number of grey-burnished wares known from the East-Yorkshire region and produced at several sites, and is thus a local product of the very localised grey-ware industry.Monaghan, J. 1997. Roman Pottery from York (The Archaeology of York 16/8). York: York Archaeological Trust. pp: 900-901Thanks are extended to Mr. Adam Parker, Assistant Curator of Archaeology at The Yorkshire Musem, for the identification of this object.
