Title
Roman Pottery Sherd - Black Burnished Ware
Description
English: Handle from a burnished vessel (Black Burnished Ware) probably a tankard dating from the Roman period (50-250 AD). The fabric is a mid grey - black colour with a number of small frequent rounded and angular grit, quartz and ‘shale like’ inclusions. The outer and inner surfaces of the sherd are a mid-dark brown / black colour. There is no glaze present. The diameter of the pot cannot be estimated due to the smallness of the sherd. The handle has been decorated with a simple vertical crease and has been applied to the vessel using the thumb. The handle measures 47.2mm length, 27.3mm width and is 10.3mm thick It weighs 25.79 grams.
