Description
Described in Eboracum as "cooking pot, black fumed with lattice decoration and rouletting". Part of a group, whose find-spot is described: "Pottery, found in the 19th century in Priory Street, was in some cases described as sepulchral, though there is no specific recod of association with cremation or skeleton. But the pieces include some complete vessels, a face vase and a feeding vessel and date from the 2nd and 3rd centuries; and if these are grave goods, it would seem that to the SE of Micklegate the built-up area of the colonia did not reach the later line occupied by the medieval city walls, even so late as the 3rd century." Other pottery found with this group includes H2135, H159, H788, H2069, H2076, H2331 and H2333.
