Fetching coin data
Thirty-three small- and medium-sized sherds from a single small grey ware jar were recovered with the hoard. These sherds came from the same vessel that appears to have contained the hoard. The sherds come from a small jar. Most of the sherds are from the lower wall and base of the vessel, but a single small sherd survives from the neck and rim. Weighing 369 g (mean sherd weight: 10.2 g), these sherds come from a jar with a beaded base with a diameter of 84 mm. The vessel was made from a dark grey fabric with a burnished exterior, a hacky fracture, and dense fabric with common (30%) very fine opaque subrectangular grains (0.05 mm across and smaller) and very rare larger opaque quartz grains with a modal size of 1 to 2 mm. The inside of the pot is stained black, probably due to contact with the coins that were originally placed inside it. File report in BM (details differ slightly) notes that there are traces of carbonised food remains and scorching on the interior of the vessel, showing that it had been used for cooking prior to its use in the hoard.
