Description: | Small and abraded base sherd from a Mortaria (mixing vessel with a gritted inner surface) dating from the Roman period (c. AD 50-410). The fabric is fairly uniform and hard with small angular black grit, and quartz inclusions. The fabric colour is a dirty beige white, with tinges of orange in its outer surface. A large proportion of the inner grinding surface survives; this has a number of angular, sub-angular, and rounded quartz and grit inclusions impressed into the surface of the clay. The interior surface is heavily worn. The mortaria is most likely to have been made at kilns in Oxfordshire.The fragment is 41mm in length, 29.2mm in width, has a thickness of 12.2mm and weighs 15.1g.
