Fetching coin data
Twenty-one sherds of an oxidised (red-coloured) coarseware pottery vessel / storage jar of early Roman date. These sherds represent approximately 1/3 of the entire vessel used to deposit this Roman hoard in and include a large section of the base of the pot. Many of the sherds have a mid-green concreted copper alloy corrosion product adhering to them; this directly associated them with the coins described herein. The style of the vessel is well documented, being made from the local 'Severn Valley Ware', having a fine, micaceous fabric containing occasional limestone fragments, ill-sorted rounded quartz and iron ore.
