Context (Analysis)
Cf. similar amphorae in the Stanfordbury finds, of the first half of the 1st century A.D. Other finds suggesting Roman influence before the Conquest are known from Barrington, e.g. an early Arretine vessel (1924.943).
The complete amphora may have lost its number and has been given a Z -number as unprovenanced: Z 27322 is a possible candidate.
