Description: | Sherd; ceramic base sherd of Roman date. Fabric is a dark grey (almost black) burnished to black at the surfaces. Temper includes moderate sub-angular quartz, sparse to moderate angular calcite and sparse black iron grits. It has a hackly fracture and a pimply surface. The sherd is a fragment of flat-bottomed dish or platter, from the join with the vertical edge. Locally produced black-burnished wares occur frequently in South Yorkshire contexts, in addition to the regular BB1 and BB2 imports from Dorset. The fabric type and colouration is more suggestive of the Rossington Bridge black-burnished ceramics produced in the Doncaster region than of the Dorset kilns, despite the existence of BB1 fabric at the same site: YORYM-BFCBB9.Probable Rossington-Bridge Black-Burnished WareAD150-410The vessel fragment is 25.4mm long, 17.1mm wide, 5.9mm thick and weighs 3.1g.Buckland, P.
