A Roman coarse sandy grey ware (AD 43-410) body-and-neck sherd from a jar, measuring 64.9x45.7x9.6mm and weighing 30.51g. The fabric is coarse with numerous small quartzite inclusions and one large dark grey porous (perhaps grog) inclusion. It is perhaps burnished.
Jane Timby comments, 'The grey-ware [sherd] is less easy to identify as they are quite ubiquitous with many local industries. All can say is yes Roman - my instinct suggests it is earlier rather than later Roman with the neck cordon. From the photo is does not look to be either New Forest or Alice Holt grey ware' (pers. comm. August 2018).
