Description: | Four highly abraded sherds of Oxfordshire red-brown slipped ware (or very abraded samian?), dating from the mid-third to fourth century AD. At least three individual vessels are represented; one incomplete pedestal base from a possible jug, one body sherd of unknown form, one rim sherd of a bowl or dish, and one upper body sherd of a bowl or dish, possibly with barbontine decoration. This latter sherd is interesting as it appears to have very worn decoration in the form of a running animal. If this were the case then this is a very unusual sherd probably depicting a hunting scene; such decoration on vessels is known to have been produced at the Rose Hill potteries during the mid-fourth century (c. AD 340-360?), however they are very uncommon (Young 2000:166. See Type C76 for decorative comparison).
