Title
A fragment of a Roman ceramic amphora probably dating 5th - 6th century.
Description
English: A fragment of a Roman ceramic amphora probably dating to the 5th century. This is a base sherd from a cigar-shaped amphora from Palestine. The base is covered with distinctive rilling which radiates from the base; there is no foot. The fabric is buff with a white exterior.

Fiona Seeley notes this is an unusual discovery for London, only one other similar sherd has been found in London, excavated from the Billingsgate bath house and that example came from the Eastern Mediterranean, probably Gaza. (Symonds & Tomber 1994 no. 119).

Dimensions: weight: 84g.
