Fetching coin data
In total, 29 sherds of pottery weighing 210.5 gms were recovered (Mean Sherd Wgt. = 7.25 gms). These sherds come from the lower part of a small grey ware jar or flagon shaped vessel. Only the base and lower wall of the vessel survive, the upper part of the vessel, including the neck is not represented by any sherds. There is considerable green staining on the inside surfaces of the base and wall sherds from where the corroded coins have touched the sides of the pot in the ground. The base of the vessel has a diameter of 58mm, enough of the wall of the vessel survives to suggest it had a maximum girth of approximately 100-110mm. The vessel was made from a fine and dense grey ware fabric with very few visible inclusions. ‘Grey wares’, pottery made from a reduced fabric with a grey colour, were common coarse ware pots made throughout the Roman period at a range of different locations. This particular vessel was probably made somewhere in the Nene Valley.
