A rim shard from a Roman black burnished ware vessel. The rim of the vessel is triangular in section and appears to have turned outwards very slightly. Light coloured sandy fabric, with dark grey/brown inner and exterior surfaces. Plentiful mica and sparse quartzite inclusions. Unfortunately the small size of the shard and its misshapen nature makes it difficult to determine the original diameter of the vessel.

Two shards of Roman fine grey ware, found close together. Consisting of one rim and one base shard of a similar fabric. Both have grey inner and outer surfaces, with darker grey patches that are abraded in places, and slightly lighter cores. The main inclusions are sparse fine mica, abundant clear quartz and sparse light chalky fragments of various sizes. The base shard has part of the gently curving body of the vessel attached. The rim shard is lipped. However, its small size makes it difficult to determine the original form of the vessel.

A shard from the base of a Roman, Nene Valley Ware vessel, dating to the 2nd to 4th centuries AD. The fragment consists of over half of the base of the vessel and a small portion of the sides. The fabric is off-white in colour with a sandy texture. Both the inner and outer surfaces have a dark brown-black slip colour coat that is missing in places, particularly on the inside surface. Abundant very fine quartz sand inclusions. The base is small with a slight neck directly above, before the sides of the vessel begin to widen, suggesting that it may have come from a beaker, flagon, jug or…

A shard from the base of an Oxfordshire Ware vessel. Around half of the base survives. The fabric is orange-buff in colour with sparse sub-angular iron ore inclusions varying widely in size and sparse large chalk lumps set in a micaceous matrix. Dark red-brown slip decorates the outer surface. However, this is heavily abraded and missing in places. Some of surviving slip shows a slight sheen on a few small patches. The base has straight, angled sides and a hole in the centre of the bottom. It would have been quite tall. The lack of further fragments makes it difficult to determine the …

Two rim shards from Roman greyware vessels, probably both jars. Both with a hard, sandy, mid-grey fabric, slightly smoother on the outside. Inclusions include fairly sparse fine mica, sparse large grains of white quartz, dark particles (probably of iron ore) and numerous small rounded, fairly irregular voids. The second shard has generally higher numbers of inclusions, but other than that they appear to share a similar fabric type. The first shard has a upright, everted rim, whilst the second has a largely flattened, tapering rim that is only very slightly everted on the outer edge.

A rim shard from a Roman black burnished ware vessel. Very similar in form to black burnished ware type 3., listed in Excavations at Greyhound Yard, Dorchester 1981-4 (Woodward et al. 1993, p.230-1). These are ‘cooking pots/storage jars with very everted rims’ (ibid, p. 231). Woodward et al. (1993) suggest a date range from the 3rd century AD possibly up to the early 5th for these.
The fabric is dark-brown in colour, with the remains of dark brown-black burnishing on the outer and inner surface, which is now heavily worn. Occasional medium grained quartz and mica, with more freq…

Five body (and one rim) shards from Roman black burnished ware vessels. All five fragments are of a fairly similar fabric. The first two are slightly thicker and coarser, plus darker (grey-black) in colour. Both of faces of these shards appear to have been burnished. The third shard is slightly thinner and finer, but also has two burnished faces. The final two shards are also thinner and finer, but are only burnished on the outer surface, which is slightly lighter in colour with a buff patch on one. The first shard appears to have come from the rim of a vessel, but it too small in size…
