Ceramic jar, a container for late Roman hoard IARCH-A94B2E. Described (in Robertson 2000, 392-393 no. 1588 quoting Prigg) as "fragments of a small vase of Durobrivian pottery...Of the vessel that contained them, the only portions recovered were the base, with its narrow foot and half the neck, representing a jar of about half a pint in capacity. It had evidently been broken some time previous to its final discovery; and fragments of it had, no doubt, been carried away in former ploughings, without materially disturbing the contents". Probably Nene valley pottery.

Lid for the fourth century Freston hoard IARCH-F86BFD. Robertson 2000, 295-296 no. 1240 writes: "Subsequent examination of the site by the writers showed that the hoard had been placed in a large pot sealed by a smaller one. No other evidence of Roman occupation could be seen in the vicinity and none has been reported from Freston.. The pots in which the hoard was concealed had been broken and scattered in the plough-soil, but they were capable of reconstruction....

Container from hoard IARCH-C9D277, broken on discovery. Robertson quotes Mattingly 1953, "The pot is reported to have been about 9 in. in height with diameter of about 2 1/2 in. at the base and about 3 1/2 in. at the top. It was of red unglazed ware with no ornament beyond a few horizontal lines, which had been in the clay before baking." and adds "JRS [XL 1950, 105] described the container as "a red-coated jar, 9 in. high, decorated with three groups of white vertical wavy stripes.""

The vessel (described by Plouviez in Talbot and Leins 2010, 22-3) is a wheel-thrown jar or wide-mouthed bowl, similar to other late Iron Age material from south-east Suffolk and usually occurring in contexts dated between AD 25-50, and thus a little later than the date which would usually be given to the Freckenham staters. The upper third of the pot had been destroyed by the plough, scattering part of the contents of the hoard.

Described in account of discovery as: "a common pot of coarse sun-dried or very slightly baked clay, apparently ornamented by the scratchings of a stick".

De Jersey writes: a piece of blue clay about nine inches long, in shape an oblong square, containing between forty and fifty gold coins, with a partition between each coin?. Allen (1960a, 286) suggested that this could have been a coin mould into which the coins had been placed for melting down, but a typical Iron Age pellet mould would normally have smaller cavities than the finished coins, and it is difficult to understand why coins would have been placed in individual cavities in order to be melted down; in addition, the dimensions of this container, if accurately recorded, are qui…

Report by J Plouviez: The pottery of interest is the hoard container, a semi-complete small, slender, narrow mouthed jar. A fairly hard mid grey fabric with a moderate amount of silver mica in it, and a moderate amount of variable sized white sand grains (including at least one piece over 5mm across). The pot has been reconstructed from about 60 fragments which show extensive very recent damage, presumably from the plough. The only older fractures are possibly two chips on the base and at the neck where the rim is completely absent, suggesting it was removed in an earlier phase of agri…
