A large ceramic greyware spindle whorl which is probably Roman. The object is plano-convex and has a central perforation which is 8.4mm in diameter. The fabric is reduced and fairly soft, a light grey to brown throughout. It has small quartz and grit inclusions including a few large pieces of red stone. One face is shallower than the other. Compare NCL-AAE256 and LIN-6F06A5, but note that spindle whorls are notoriously difficult to date.

A base sherd from a Roman ceramic vessel. It is the base of a small vessel such as a flask or beaker and it probably dates from 150 - 300 AD. The fabric is coarse and fairly soft.

Compare the flasks and beakers on page 8-12 of Gillam's "Types of Roman Co…
