Vessel

Unique ID: LON-1F1122

Object type certainty: Certain

A resized image of An Early Medieval (probably) pottery rim sherd from a hand-made, chaff-tempered jar (410-1066).

An Early Medieval (probably) pottery rim sherd from a hand-made, chaff-tempered jar (410-1066). Hand-made, chaff-tempered vessels are also very common in the Iron Age period, however the large rim diameter of this vessel suggests it would be later, from the Early Medieval period. The core of the fabric is dark grey with red, thin external and internal margins. The rim is everted with a square section.
