Record ID: CAM-16ADC4
Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Ceramic head of a woman, possibly Roman. In style, it resembles the faces seen on face-neck flagons of the third to fourth century AD, however the fabric of the object is coarse and is likely to be of building material type rather than vessel fabric. The head has centrally parted hair and is wearing a headdress although the highly abraded nature of the object has obscured the detail of this. Likewise, the features of the face are visible but the detail is lost to abrasion. The anthropomorphic object measures 56mm in length, 49mm maximum width and is 14mm thick.

Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
A Roman rim sherd from a ceramic mortarium. The fabric is a pale cream colour and the eleven surviving pieces of grit are black and angular. Weight 59.29g, thickness 6.35mm, the sherd is 83.85mm x 44.47mm. Use of a rim chart shows that the vessel would have had a diameter of 260mm and that 12.5% of the circumference of the vessel is represented by this sherd. In places the sherd has lost patches of its surface and none of the outer tip of the rim is present.
Mortaria were used to grind food in the same way that a pestle and mortar are used today. A rough surface was created by pu…
