Body sherd from a Roman grey ware vessel decorated with waved, parallel, incised lines executed with a comb-like tool below which is a broad, incised horizontal groove. This sherd is of interest and it parallels the fabric and decoration used on the wheel-thrown, Roman type vessels use as urns at the Cleatham, Lincs. and Millgate, Newark Anglo-Saxon cemeteries (Leahy 2007, p. 126-7, Figs. 63 and 66, Pl. 25). As this form of decoration is otherwise uncommon this sherd, found between the two sites, is of note.
Notes:
Fine grey fabric, sparse sand filler, rounded grains.
