County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two sherds of late Saxon (early-medieval) coarseware, which appear to have the same rough red-brown colour fabric, and share the characteristic of flint and chalk temper use. There is a slight suggestion of some worn away slip or glaze, but it is too faint to merit any more than an allusion. Dimensions - A: L.: 33.07mm, W.: 21.14mm, Th.: 5.63mm, Wt.: 5.38g B: L.: 34.71mm, W.: 28.56mm, Th.: 5.87mm, Wt.: 7.45g

Object type: TILE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large piece of Roman box flue tile, with the side face scored for practical purpose with a mixture of horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines. The large inclusion of a pebble indicates the nature of the coarseware used. Smoothed on visible side, with raised edge at bottom end. There is rounding of the edges caused by wear while buried, as box tiles were designed to have clean edges to fit together better. Other damage includes severe scratches.

Record ID: HAMP-CCD177
Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A hand made coarseware fragment from the rim of a late Saxon/early-medieval jar type open vessel (c. 950 - c. 1050 AD). The sherd has a dark coloration due to non-oxidisation during firing. Some sooting indicates use as a cooking vessel with inclusions of a flint temper (some of which has been burnt). The sherd has suffered a small chip in the rim surface. On the complete vessel the rim would have been approximately 140mm in diameter.
