VESSEL

Unique ID: SWYOR-2CE010

Object type certainty: Probably
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A fragment of a ceramic vessel of uncertain date, Roman to Modern, AD 43 - 1900. The shard is an unusual shape and damaged, but appears to be part of the rim and shoulder from a narrow necked vessel with a rounded body. The fabric is orange and hard, with a irregular texture and sparse inclusions of quartz and grit. At first glance the fragment looks like the edge of a tegula or tile, but there are sufficient curves to rule this out. The fragment is 39.7mm tall, 61.7mm wide and 20mm thick. 76.2g.
