Title
Roman: Samian ware vessel
Description
English: Twenty-three (23) sherds (eight (8) rimsherds, four (4) basesherds and eleven (11) bodysherds) of several wheelthrown ceramic vessels. Three of the bodysherds exhibit circular perforations, probably for lead rivet repairs.

The sherds vary in thickness from 4.75mm to 11.14mm. In total they weigh 189 grams.

The sherds have a smooth red slip and an orangey red fabric. It is consistent with Samian ware, a type of Roman pottery imported from Gaul mainly during the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. No attempt has been made to identify fabrics down to geographical or workshop location. A selection of different vessel types are present from Dragendorff 18s (plain ware plates) to Dragendorff 37s (large decorated bowl) to a Curle 11 bowl (with barbotine decoration and flanged rim). Three body sherds demonstrate lead rivet repair holes (one Dragendorff 33 cup, a dragendorff 37 bowl and an unidentifiable form).

Sherd specific details:
Fabric type: Samian
Firing condition: oxidised exterior, oxidised core, oxidised interior.

Surface texture: Smooth.
Condition of sherds: Variable. Some sherds demonstrate a high degree of abrasion, with rounded edges whereas other sherds have sharp, fresh breaks.
