This piece of pottery was found bagged with Z 17003. The Accession Register or catalogue card do not record it as being part of Z 17003 B. It has thus been separated out and assigned a suffix of B.3.

Context (Found together / assemblage)
In his 1951 publication, Lethbridge notes that 'the burials were in many cases covered by a layer or heap of flint nodules or Roman tiles, which were doubtless taken from the ruined Roman buildings for the purpose (p.3)'. It is possible this piece of pottery was used in this way.
