Rim sherd of an unglazed earthenware pottery vessel dating from the post medieval period (1500-1650). The sherd is most likely to be from a relatively thin walled jar or storage vessel. The fabric of the sherd is a relatively hard earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular, quartz, iron stone and oolitic limestone inclusions. There is also a large amount of mica in the fabric. The fabric colour is a uniform light orange colour. A suggested diameter of the rim is 11cm, however the sherd represents only 6% of the rim and the diameter is therefore an estimate. The height o…

The gaming piece measures 19.7mm in diameter, is 7.3mm thick and weighs 3.43 grams.
The outer surface is a mid grey black colour and where it has been abraded in the soil a mid orange purple coloured fab…

Rim sherd of a large Severn Valley Ware storage jar dating from the early - middle Roman period 43-200 AD. The fabric is a very soft unglazed earthen ware with small granular sand / silica inclusions. The fabric colour is a light red orange. From the rim of the sherd a diameter for the mouth of the storage jar can be estimated; this would be approximately 21cm. All of the breaks on the sherd are relatively old and worn.
The size of the sherd and the lack of modern breaks suggest that this has been removed from a primary context possibly a rubbish pit. This is highly likely as i…
