Pottery. Two joining fragments of rim-sherd (one illustrated here), in dark calcite-gritted fabric with occasional ?rock or grog? temper. Wallace Collyer suggests this to be a shelly ware with a Dales-Ware type of rim form from a large jar, of 3rd-to-4th-century date. Illustration by JE suggests the form is a narrow-necked jar.
Further specialist coment kindly offered by Lepot Annick may indicate an earlier date; she writes as follows:
'This fragment is a pre-roman dolium produced in calcite tempered clays from the region of the Condroz (Devonian formation) in Belgium. A paper in in press on this specific Fabric (Lepot Annick, Vilvorder Fabienne, La céramique à dégraissant Calcite sur le territoire des Tongres, Paris, in press)'. The agency by which this exotic sherd may have reached Northern Lincolnshire is unknown, and is of course of great interest.
Suggested date: Late Iron Age to Late Roman, 100BC - AD 200-400.
