Description: | A rim sherd from a Roman possibly Savernake-type grey ware vessel dating to c AD 100-300. The sherd is wheel thrown and comprises a short section from the rim of a vessel. The sherd is roughly made and comprises short piece of the body of the vessel which curves out convexly towards the rim. On the outer face, there is a raised rib of decoration just under the rim. There is a slight twist to the top of the rim and an additional piece of ceramic has been roughly attached which thickens the wall and suggests that this may have been the beginning of a spout. Alternatively, it may be that the poor manufacture of the vessel required additonal layers of ceramic to create the right shape. The fabric is mid grey with whitish marks and has striations across the thickness of the vessel and numerous inclusions of white shell or flint as well as some reddish brown inclusions, there are also some large voids. The fragment weighs 30.57g and measures 48.47mm in length, 15.53mm in thickness and 15.53mm in height. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
