Six sherds of Roman Oxford colour coated ware. The sherds have been stuck back together by members of the excavation team; the shape and diameter suggests a beaker-type vessel. The vessel has been decorated in a white paint consisting of a row of vertical dots bound either side by a vertical line - this decoration is repeated every c.16mm. Paul Booth of Oxford Archaeology said that although unusual, decorated beakers are not uncommon. This beaker dates from the 3rd to 4th centuries AD.
Notes:
This beaker was found in the same context (6003) as the antler rake.
