The image for Day 195 is of another vessel from the Roman Kitchen<\/a> found in the remains of a Roman building excavated at Broadstairs<\/a>, a Knife-trimmed necked-jar in a grey-black Native Coarse Ware with grog and sand filler. The diameter around the exterior of the rim is 240 mm. and the surface is fired grey with patchy black and pink surfaces. This particular style of vessel can be dated to around 170-250 AD.<\/p>\n One hundred and twenty fresh sherds from the vessel were recovered from the thick deposit of pottery, making up nearly three quarters of this pot. Previous VM_365 posts have shown how vessels from the thick layer of pottery in one context have been reconstructed<\/a> and this is the last of large jars<\/a> that has been carefully pieced together by one of the Trust’s volunteers.<\/p>\n Like many of the other pots recovered from this deposit<\/a>, the vessel appears to have been deliberately destroyed. A series of holes has been punched along the widest part of the body, as if the pot was systematically pierced with a thin rod or blade. Reconstructing the vessels has shown this pattern of holes punched with\u00a0 sharp object to be preserved in the distribution of sherd breaks in several of the larger pots and a moratorium recovered from the deposit<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The image for Day 195 is of another vessel from the Roman Kitchen found in the remains of a Roman building excavated at Broadstairs, a Knife-trimmed necked-jar in a grey-black Native Coarse Ware with grog and sand filler.
