A bodysherd of a handmade ceramic vessel.
The sherd is 10.06mm thick and weighs 25.9g. It is 56.20mm long and 46.28mm wide.
The sherd consists of a bodysherd, in a dark micaeous rich fabric, with an organic temper. The exterior of the sherd has two rows of decoration. The top row consists of three (3) circular wheel stamps with a central cross, splitting the circle into four approximately equal sized quadrants. The lower row demonstrates two incised chevrons, each done with two V shapes. The two rows of decoration are separated by horizontal incised lines. Pottery with this style of decoration and organic temper is normally of Early Saxon dating, 5th to 7th century. This style of decoration is typically found on cremation urns, so it is probable that this bodysherd came from a urned cremation burial.
