Title
A Roman - Early Medieval pottery spindle whorl.
Description
English: A Roman pottery rim fragment from a flagon (AD50-170). The fabric is white and sandy with irregular quartz and some mica inclusions. It resembles Verulamium Region White Ware. The sherd has been trimmed and it is very abraded probably through use. This suggests the rim was reused probably as a spindle whorl or possibly as a weight. The reuse could date Roman – Early Medieval - Anglo-Saxon (AD50-AD1066).


Dimensions: diameter of the central hole: 21mm; diameter of rim: 46mm; thickness: 17mm; weight: 24.86g.
