Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small body sherd with sparse flat, angular pieces of stone (up to 5-6mm), and poorly sorted moderated quartz sand temper, with some finer material. The piece is broken on all sides. It is shallowly curved in profile. It appears to have a dark-grey slip over a light-grey core. The rough surface, especially internally, would suggest a medieval date, as would thin thin walls, although an earlier date cannot be ruled out entirely.

Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A rim sherd probably from a glazed post-medieval open vessel, such as a large dish. The piece is now an irregular quadrilateral shape with a light-orange colour through the core to the external surfaces. The rim is everted and a thickened wedge shape. The body has a soapy feel with some micaceous inclusions. There is some dark-green glaze surviving internally within parallel radial grooves, the remainder of deep sgraffito work. The sherd has received some sooting to its external surface at one corner.
