Eleven (11) sherds (Two (2) rimsherds, three (3) basesherds, and six (6) bodysherds) of several wheel thrown ceramic vessels of a Romano-British local white ware.
The sherds vary in thickness from 6.21mm to 7.51mm. In total they weigh 104 grams.
The sherds have a white oxidised fabric. This type of fabric is broadly consistent with a local type of Romano-British pottery, from Oxfordshire and typically dates from the 3rd to 4th Centuries AD (200 - 300 AD).
The vessel forms present consist of utilitarian forms such as storage jars and beakers.
Sherd specific details:
Fabric type: Oxfordshire white ware
Firing condition: oxidised exterior, oxidised core, oxidised interior.
Hardness: Hard
Surface texture: Smooth, powdery
Condition of sherds: Variable. Some sherds demonstrate a high degree of abrasion, with rounded edges whereas other sherds have sharp, fresh breaks.
A representative selection of the sherds have been photographed.
