Fig. 27. Portion of rim and side of a vessel the form of which is 

 Eoman and the texture common to British Roman and mediaeval times. 



Fig. 28. Portion of rim of large vessel of black ware, burnt red on the 

 outside and inside and showing small sand grains through the red. The 

 rim is ornamented with a regular series of indents apparently made with 

 the broken feather edge of a stick. 



Fig. 29. Side from rim to base of cooking vessel of dark grey ware, 

 blackened on the outside as if by fire, with a flat base which shows evidence 

 of sagging, and a narrow flat rim. 



Fig. 30. Flat spout stuck on to a vessel of red ware, fired black 

 outside, almost fluxed to glaze. The spout forms a six-rayed star through 

 the middle of which the circular hole passes. 



Fig. 31. Spout and handle of coarse brown ware. 



Fig. 32. Base, stand, and part of flat bowl of small dish. 



Fig. 33. A similar vessel with more of the flat bowl and less of the 

 base preserved. 



Fig. 34. Handle and large part of rim of a jug in grey ware. The top 

 of the handle starts from the rim, which is rectangular in section and has 

 a small lip or spout. The lower part of the handle has come off where 

 attached to the body of the jug, and shows by the angle it makes with the 

 axis that it was a very full-bodied jug. Some curious cuts given before 

 firing appear on the rim and handle. 



Fig. 35. Part of rim and side of large vessel in brown sandy ware, 

 more red on the inside. It has a curious ornamentation round the neck, 

 as if a number of flat circular pats of clay about the size of a half-penny 

 and twice as thick were laid on overlapping one another about two-thirds 

 of their breadth all round, while a narrower band of somewhat similar 

 ornament runs from the rim down the side. 



Fig. 36. Part of the side of a vessel in dark brown ware, much decayed 

 and flaking on the inside, with a thin plated ribbon band running down or 

 round, and wavy bands incised with the feathered end of a broken stick. 

 It is interesting to notice that the cut given in this way has determined 

 the direction of the fracture in one case. 



Fig. 37. Piece of coarse ware with brush or stick marks on the inside, 

 about ^ an inch thick and f where the bands come ; ornamented with 

 bands of clay laid on and impressed with close thumb marks and bands 

 plastered on down the side.
