Pottery. Roxby or Dragonby Greyware. A body sherd from a very large vessel, abraded, water-rolled, and with a recent mend by the finder. This sherd was kindly identified by Wallace Collyer, Helen Fry and Sandra Firth of the North Lincolnshire Pottery Research Group. The appearance of this sherd in a coastal context is of considerable interest in that it evidences intercourse, possibly entailing the transportation of commodities in bulk, between the south bank of the Humber and the mouth of the Estuary. And possibly further on from there, as is implied by later Roman report of the ship…
