VESSEL
Unique ID: SOM-826E30
A handle from a Roman New Forest Ware vessel. The fabric appears to fall into Fulford type 1c, which has a hard, slightly sandy, granular texture, with a reddish-yellow core and reddish-brown slip (Tyres 1996, p.171). The shard is also tempered with plentiful fine mica, and occasional larger pieces of red iron ore (<2mm). The handle probably came from a flagon or similar vessel. New Forest Wares were in production from c. AD 260-370 and were distributed mainly in the South-West (ibid. p.173).
