Fetching coin data
The coins were contained in a greyware jar or cooking pot, which was fragmented on discovery; it has now been restored to c. 2/3 complete profile. The fabric has a fairly sandy texture, is of a uniform colour throughout, and does not seem to be a product from Lincoln. There is at present a blank in our knowledge of kilns supplying the Roman town of Horncastle and the Bain Valley. The pot is somewhat distorted and, though not a waste, is definitely a 'second.' The inner surface is coated with a green cuprous staining from the coins, but this in turn covers traces of a whitish food residue deposit, suggesting that it had been in use before its selection as a coin container. The outside surface is marked by two zones of incised lattice with light burnishing below, between, and above the zones.
