Description: | An incomplete Roman course ware vessel. The vessel has been broken in to sherds and re-assembled by the finder. It is of a fine dark grey to black fabric of sandy silt. It is highly fired and appears to have been oxidised. It is difficult to assess the inclusions due to the reconstruction but they appear to be abundant inclusions of well rounded and well sorted sand.The vessel is in the form of a jar with a flat base and bi conical shaped body. There are sloping shoulders and a beaded rim. There are two decorative grooves running around the circumference of the break of slope at the shoulders. The surface appears to have been burnished.The vessel is 151mm at the widest part of the shoulder diameter and 70mm at the base. It is 130mm high and weighs 510grams.
