Cold Kitchen Hill, 1893. 289 



A broken flat rubber 3|in. x 4|in. and liin. thick, rubbed 

 very smooth on one side, and partially so on the other. 

 Fine-grained sandstone. ? Sarsen. 



A small portion of a similar rubber, Ijin. thick, rubbed 

 smooth on both sides. 



The Pottery. 



The fragments of pottery were also submitted to Gen. 

 Pitt- Rivers, who has carefully noted and described the 

 different kinds. 



British. Many fragments of British " No. 1 Quality,'* 

 having large grains of flint, chalk, or shell in its com- 

 position. This quality is generally found with British 

 remains, but it is also found occasionally with remains 

 of the Roman period. In this case there is a hardness 

 about most of it which leads to the inference that it 

 might be of the Roman period, but it is hand-made. 



Many fragments of British " No. 2 Quality/' having few 

 if any large grains in its composition. This is the 

 quality of which British urns are generally composed. 

 It is hand-made, not lathe-turned. A portion of the 

 bottom of a vessel apparently of this quality has three 

 holes drilled in it. Gen. Pitt-Rivers has found many 

 such perforated vessels in his excavations. 



Romano-British. Two or three fragments of a red brown 

 ware, hand-made, tooled on the outside, with a high 

 polish, with plain unbeaded rim, unlike anything found 

 at Rotherley or Woodcuts, but identical with the material 

 of the " food vessels " in the Museum, from a pit on 

 Oldbury Hill. Probably Romano- British. 



Fragment of red brick-coloured pottery, without sand ia 

 it — late British, or Eoviano- British. 



Fragments of Romano- British pots with bead rims, similar 

 to fragments abundant at Rotherley and Woodcuts. 



Fragments of blackish pottery, probably Romano- British ^
