Object type: MORTARIUM
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two large joining body fragments of a Roman mortarium, probably dating from the late 2nd or 3rd century AD. The mortarium was probably locally made from reddish sandy fabric with quartzite inclusions. While the outside of the sherds is very smooth, the inside is gritty which is typical for all mortaria (Roman household mixing bowls). The characteristic rim is missing which makes it difficult to identify a sub-type for this vessel.
