Description: | Ceramic vessel neck and handle sherd; surviving sherd of the junction of the upper portion of the handle and the rim. The handle is elliptical in section and is decorated with four longitudinal grooves at the upper surface. A series of finger-nail indents are evident at the upper surface of the handle. The underside has been wiped prior to firing, and finger-pressed into position. The rim is plain and narrowly everted. The fabric is a hard-fired, pale orange material, with abundant sand temper and rare calcite inclusions erupting at the surface. A pale grey-white slip covers the exterior surface only, above which a thin mid-green glaze is evident. Occasional copper flecks adorn the glaze exterior. The sherd is a fragment of a large jug of Sandy Red Ware. Jugs are the most common type of form of the SRW industry.Medieval: AD 1250-1500The vessel fragment is 89.5mm long, 85.8mm wide, 49.2mm thick and weighs 133g.Mainman, A. and Jenner, A. 2013.
