POT SHERD
Unique ID: CORN-C928E2
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation 
Pottery rim sherd from a bowl with a 'Cornish flanged' (Quinnell, 2004, p.124) rim. The flange below the rim is pointed and horizontal, angled at about 90 degrees from the body of the bowl. Below the flange is a recessed groove which helps to define it from the body of the bowl.
The fabric is is a light orangey brown colour throughout and contains mica, felspar and augite inclusions, which suggests that it is made from gabbroic clay, originating from the Lizard. The exterior surface has been black-coated and then burnished.
Romano-British, 3rd-4th century AD
