Broad period: UNKNOWN

Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
29 sherds (9 rimsherds, 3 basesherds and 17 bodysherds) of several handmade ceramic vessels.
The sherds vary in thickness from 5.43mm to 20.54mm. In total they weigh 482 grams.
The sherds have a coarse fabric, with frequent fossil shell inclusions. This fabric is similar to that found in SH1 (Standard common fossil shell type) in McSloy 2006, p 38, dated to Middle to Late Iron Age (500 BC to 100 AD). It is possible that some sherds may be a medieval cooking pot variant, but due to the similarity of the fabrics and the level of abrasion present, they are hard to d…
