Description: | A body sherd fragment of Severn Valley ware pottery dating from Roman period (c. AD 50-410). The size of the sherd makes it difficult it determine the exact style and shape of the original vessel. However the decoration on the sherd suggests it may have been used as tableware rather than a cooking vessel. The sherd is irregular in shape with more pointed then rounded edges. The fabric is fine with smooth surfaces with sparse well sorted inclusions; the fabric is also mica rich. The fabric colour is uniform mid orange on the outer surface and a mid to light brown on the inner surface. The fragment is decorated with two parallel incised (possibly rouletted) lines on one surface. The opposing surface has a wider linear impression formed during the wheel throwing process. The decoration on both faces transverses across the surface towards the narrowest edge.The sherd measures 43.36mm in length, 54.35mm in width, 6.31mm thick and weighs 15g.
