Title
A body sherd fragment from a Roman Highgate Wood C ware necked jar dating from AD 69-150.
Description
English: A body sherd fragment from a Roman Highgate Wood C ware necked jar dating from AD 69-150. The sherd is a beaded rim fragment with part of the shoulder of a jar. The sherd is a reduced ware of grog-tempered fabric. The exterior surface has been burnished and there is the top of a band of incised lines giving it a train track/ladder appearance. The interior is undecorated and not burnished. Similar jars can be seen in Davies et al (1994:84 fig. 402-404)

Dimensions: length: 108.89mm; width: 44.70mm; thickness: 3.49mm; weight: 20.79g.

A similar Highgate Wood C ware jar on the database is LON-700061,

Davies et al (1994:83) "The most common of all is the IIE (401-407), almost all of which are slipped and burnished on the exterior and over the usually thickened or beaded rim. They were especially common during the Flavian and Trajanic periods... Numbers 402 and 403 are the commonest examples of the IIE."
