Five small vessel sherds of medieval pottery known as Humberware. The fabric is fine and mid grey colour with no inclusions (depending on how the pot was fired, the unglazed area is sometimes orange). The outside of the sherds have an olive green glaze and are decorated with incised lines around the circumference of the vessel. This type of pottery was produced at a number of production centres including Cowick and Holme on Spalding Moor and was manufactured from the late 13th century until 16th century. This type of pottery was largely utilitarian and functional.
