VESSEL

Unique ID: SF-9F34A9

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A sherd from the rim of a probable Roman greyware (GX) ceramic vessel. The rim is oval in cross-section and strongly everted. There is an applied strip with pinched decoration around the outside just below the rim. The fabric is light grey in colour, hard with a fine, sandy texture. It contains plentiful mica and occasional fragments of rounded quartz and flint (<1mm).

Applied strips occur on two vessels of different forms from the Hacheston excavations (Blagg 2004, 172, fig.113, nos.18 & 19).
