An incomplete copper alloy probable jug handle, of Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 300). The back face is slightly concave and curvilinear to accommodate the body of the copper-alloy vessel, to which it would have originally been soldered. The front face of the terminal is rounded and moulded to depict a forwards facing head. The face is sub square in shape with almond shaped eyes, which have been silver plated with circular depressions for the pupils. The nose is projecting and flattened and the mouth is small and represented by moulded lips with a straight horizontal groove between the…

A rim and partial body sherd from a wheel thrown Roman vessel. The sherd is a fragment from an item of kitchenware, a reasonably large storage jar. The sherd is of a local type of greyware, possibly "salt and pepper fabric" from the Ecton kilns. The sherd has a rough dark grey exterior with frequent small black sandy inclusions. The exterior is also decorated with a subtle ridge and grooved effect shortly below the waist of the neck. The interior is of a slightly paler grey, and the core of the sherd is of a similar colour, indicating that the vessel was well fired. The diameter…

sherd from a medieval vessel. The sherd appears to be part of the base and wall of a large saggy bottomed jug. At the angle between the base and wall is a thumb or finger indentation, and this would probably have extended around the base of the vessel for decoration. The fabric has large inclusions of calcite grit and was possibly organically tempered also. The fabric is of a grey colour in profile and an orange/grey colour on the exterior.

Two sherds of Roman samian ware. One is a rim sherd, probably from a form 30 or form 37 bowl (de la Bedoyere, 1989, page 84; figure 51; Webster 1996, 42 fig. 27, 47 fig. 32). The original rim diameter was 240mm. This sherd is pierced with a circular hole (4.5 mm in diameter) 4 mm below the rim. Chafing around the edge indicates that this hole was bored some time after completion of the pot. It is likely that the hole represents the repair of the pot at some point during its life. The other is a body sherd, possibly from a Form 27 cup (de la Bedoyere, 1988, page 54; figure 44.2; Webs…

The rim is slightly thickened with a flat top created by a D shaped swelling on the inner side and would have flared out from the body of the vessel.

The leg terminates in a rounded but plain end with no clear 'foot', at the top is an old break. There are traces of sooting on the front. This is possibly an example of Butler, Green and Payne (2009, pg 4) Type 'a', lacking the foot. This type was widespread in the Medieval period with examples known into the early 17th century.
