Title
10 Roman vessel BBW fragments
Description
English: A small assemblage of ten fragments from a number of different south western black burnished ware vessels dating to the Roman period, c. AD 100-250.  

All sherds are hand made, with coil ridges present on at least five of the fragments. The fabric of all vessels is a uniform black in colour, with a sandy texture, and some gritty quartz and more rounded white inclusions present in varying quantities. Burnishng on the exterior surfaces survives to varying degrees on the different sherds. The south western black burnished ware is markedly coarser than the ware produced around Poole. 

There are five diagnostic sherds, two rim sherds, a base sherd and two body sherds which preserve the vessels' neck giving a clear impression of the rim. The first rim sherd is from a straight bodied vesel, probably a jar. The second is more complex, with two thick grooves running around the neck of the vessel before the rim juts above and shoulders flare below. It is narrow in circumference, and may have been used for the storage of oil or another more precious liquid. The base sherd is from a smaller jar or storage vessel, possibly with a biconical or globular appearance. The two body sherds with everted rims probably came from open form bowls.
