Description: | Roman: A single body sherd of an oxidised (orange) wheel thrown ceramic vessel, Severn Valley Ware, dates from the 2nd to 4th Centuries AD. The sherd is decorated with areas of burnishing - the pattern comprises single transverse lines and rectangular panels which due to the vagaries of the firing process appear as grey reduction. The sherd is probably from the shoulder of a jar that is decorated with pattern burnish. There may have been grooves above this - but it is very abraded and small.The sherds measures 21.1mm length, 24.3mm width is 4.9mm thick, and weighs 3.3 grams.Sherd specific details:Fabric type: 'Severn Valley Ware'Firing condition: oxidised exterior, unoxidised (grey) core, oxidised (orange) interiorHardness: HardSurface texture: SmoothCondition of sherd: abraded.Decoration: burnishedThanks are extended to Dr. Jane Evans, a specialist on Roman Severn Valley Wares for her thoughts and identification | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
