Description: | Roman body sherd and a rim sherd of wheel thrown ceramic vessels: The sherds are in a fabric similar to that, and probably is, Severn Valley ware. This type of pottery was produced throughout the Roman Period, in the Severn Valley area, and typically consisted of jugs, flagons and tankards. The rim sherd has a straight walled rim suggesting it is probably a tankard sherd. Tankards in Severn Valley ware date to the 1st to 3rd centuries (Webster, 1976). The body sherd may be from a tankard or jar and probably dates to the 1st to 4th centuries.Sherd specific details:Fabric type: Severn Valley WareSherd type: rim sherdFiring condition: oxidised exterior, unoxidised core, oxidised interiorHardness: fairly hardSurface texture: SmoothCondition of sherds: not abraded.Webster, P. 1976 'Severn Valley Ware: A Preliminary Study'Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeology SocietyVol. 94 pp.18-46
