Fetching coin data
Thirteen medium to large sherds from a single reduced grey ware jar were recovered with the hoard. These sherds came from the same vessel that appears to have been only recently broken. The sherds include more than half of the rim of the vessel and part of the upper vessel wall. The vessel was made from a hard grey fabric with a dark grey smoothed exterior; smooth fracture, and a dense fabric with common (15%) fine opaque subrectangular grains (0.1 mm across), rare black to dark brown clay pellet (?) inclusions with a modal size of 0.5-1 mm. The inside of the pot is stained green with a bronze patina due to contact with the coins.
Three or four coins (indicated with footnote reference) have traces of organic fibres within their corrosion products suggesting that the coins had either been wrapped inside the pot or perhaps the neck was plugged with a cloth bung.
