~~Fragment of samian wall sherd, the outside is decorated in low relief possible depicting a foliate border. ~~The recorder is indebted to Robert Hopkins for he's following help with the identification of this vessel. 'This is almost certainly a Dr 37, and from South Gaul. The sherd is upside-down; the design is the basal wreath of a trifid plant motif. This type of wreath is common on Dr 37's of the Flavian Trajanic period, and in the date range of AD 75-110' (Hopkins, Pers comm, 2018)

The leg has a worn break at the top and bottom and is D-shaped in cross-section with a central mid-rib running down the front. It expands in width and thickness from top to bottom and turns at an angle into a flat foot. Traces of sooting are visible. The vessels to which these were attached were usually of a tripod form and were widely used from circa AD 1200-1700 for serving and cooking. Butler and Green (2003) 15, state 'there is evidence tha…
