Roman rim sherd from a Black Burnished ware vessel. Dropped flange on the outer surface. Probably from a relatively stright-sided dish or bowl. The fabric is fairly coarse, with the distinctive cods-roe fracture. It is tempered with abundant rounded quartz (<2mm), occasional rounded shale (<2mm) and possibly some very small fragments of flint. Evidence of burnishing visible on the interior wall and exterior wall below the flange. It appears to be fabric BB1, which was produced in the Poole/wareham region of Dorset from the 1st to 4th century (Seager Smith and Davies 1993, p.249).

Roman ceramic base sherd from a Samian ware vessel, probably a dish or bowl, dating to the period c. AD 120 - 260. Part of the foot ring and the floor of the vessel, projecting at a shallow angle from the top of the foot ring. The fabric is a buff orange colour and is fully oxidised. It is hard and exhibits frequent micaceous inclusions and occasional poorly sorted limestone inclusions. The sherd is heavily abraded, but retains a small amount of lustrous dark orange/red slip. The vessel likely derives from the central Gaulish Lezoux production centre.
