62 Report on the excavation of the Karthicork 



No. 8. Fragment of rim, about 2 inches by 1| and 0*40 

 inch thick ; it has large grains of white and grey quartz, and 

 red, grey and black pebble, in its composition ; it is dull red 

 on the outside and inside of the pot, and brown in the 

 interior of the substance ; the thickness of the pot is only 

 slightly enlarged at the rim to about 0-42 inch, and the rim 

 is a different shape from No. 5. It is hand-made, very uneven 

 on its surface, and the rim rudely formed. Such a piece of 

 pottery might safely be pronounced of British manufacture. 

 Found in the body of the rampart on the old surface line. 

 See the chromo -lithograph plate. Fig. 2, PL V. 



No. 10. One flint flake or chip with bulb of i)ercUssion and 

 one facet, and fragment of pottery about 2 inches by 1^ and 

 0*32 inch thick ; brick-red on the outside and inside, and dark 

 brown or black in the interior of the substance ; no grains of 

 quartz. Kesembling No. 7 in quality ; no marks of lathe. 

 British or Eomano-British. Found in body of rampart on or 

 near the old surface line. See Fig. 3, PI. V. 



No. 12. Fragment of rim 1| inch by 1 and 0*44 inch 

 thick; dull red outside and inside, and red-brown in the 

 interior of the substance ; no grams of quartz in its com- 

 position, of smooth pasty texture ; the rim projects more 

 than No. 8, but is less evenly formed than No. 5. It is 

 hand-made, and must be British. From the body of the 

 rampart.^ Fig. 4, PI. V. 



No. 13. A piece of much-corroded iron, about 2 inches 

 long and 0*50 inch thick. Found in the silting of the ditch, 

 about 2f feet beneath the surface, but too high up to be 

 necessarily, or even probably, of the age of the construction 

 of the camp. 



No. 14. Piece of pottery, about 1 inch square and 0.18 

 inch thick, with small grains of sand in its composition, both 

 thinner and harder than that found in the rampart, but much 

 weathered ; probably wheel-turned. It is of a uniform red- 

 brown colour throughout, and was found 3 feet beneath the

 Mr. Fisher Unwin in examining the earth just thrown into the cart by the 

 workmen digging out the old surface line sj^it. — Ed.]
