Forty Six (46) sherds (12 rimsherds, 3 handles, 28 body sherds, 3 basesherds) of several different wheel thrown Medieval pottery types.
Two main types are present: Cotswold oolitic limestone cooking pot types (12th to 14th Centuries) and Worcestershire glazed jug types (13th to 15th Centuries). Two different handle styles are present: one plain and two with a diagonally knife slashed decoration.The base sherds are flat in style.
The vessel types that are represented here included glazed jugs, one sherd demonstrates rouletted decoration, which tends to be Mid 12th to Mid 13th Centuries AD in date. Unglazed cooking pot types are present as well. This is representative of a typical Medieval ceramic assemblage, although more cooking pot types should be present.
The fragments vary in thickness from 4.71mm to 9.11mm. In total they weigh 448 grams.
There is a range of abrasion damage present on the group, with some sherds demonstrating relatively sharp edges compared to some sherds being heavily abraded. The heavily abraded sherds are suggestive of being present in the plough soil for a reasonable length of time, compared to the less abraded sherds, which may not have moved far from their original place of deposition.
A representative sample of the sherds have been photographed.
