Description (CMS Description)
13 sherds from various wares including colour coated and coarse ware. One sherd of a coarse ware has been decorated with a small section of an incised wave with an incised line on one side of the wave. 5 other sherds that are decorated in a way to suggest that they are from the same vessel have incised dashes made with a point or roller. In addition to the sherds there is a fragment of glass with patches of iridescence on the surface, a small piece of burnt wood, and a small length of lead.
