and also has something of the lustre on the surface. A very 
small bit of the same ware has a scale or basket-work or- 
hament on it. A fragment very like this is in the Silchester 
collection at Reading. 
(6) A few pieces of apparently somewhat globular bow!s or jars 
with out-turned rims, of grey-brown ware, with small specks 
of mica on the surface. 
(7) Neck and part of body of a globular-shaped jug with 
handle, of hard grey ware, a band of ornament composed of 
curls lightly marked on the wet clay with a blunt instrument 
running round the upper part of the body. 
(8) A number of rims of basin- or bowl-shaped vessels with 
straight sides; they have projecting rims, above which the 
edge rises up. Gen. Pitt Rivers gives a long series of sections 
of such vessels, and a cut of a perfect one (p. 169), from the 
Romano-British villages of Rotherley and Woodcuts, in Vol. II. 
Plate CXVL., of his Zxcavations. Some of the rims suggest 





















that a cover fitted over them, or perhaps the overlapping rims 
were for the same purpose as the broader flanges of No. 2. 
4 They are of brownish black thick ware and some of them still 
retain under the rims the black and soot which collected on 
them when used for cooking. 
A number of fragments also occurred of the rims and bottoms 
of flat upright-edged saucers of this same brown or black ware, 
ornamented with crossed lines and scrolls marked on the wet 
clay with a blunt instrument. Gen. Pitt Rivers gives an 
example from Woodcuts in Excavations, Vol. I., Plate XX XTV., 
fig. 1, where he suggests that these saucers may perhaps have 
been used as lids for the basin-shaped vessels with rims. A 
good deal of this black ware, especially in the case of the 
saucers, has a kind of polish on the surface, as if it had been 
tooled over. 
Of the same ware, again, are a number of fragments of 
pots, vases, or jars, all of much the same shape'—a small 
‘A precisely similar pot, from Woodyates, is figured in Gen. Pitt Rivers’ 
d ‘reavations, Vol. I., Plate XXXIL., fig. 5.
