- Unclassified Eastern Sigillata B
- Typological identification comment
- With only the base preserved identification as a Hayes Form 25 cannot be certain as forms 23 through 27 have similar bases. The definitive articulation of the base does suggest form 25 as a reasonable specific identification.
- Description
- Small cup with flaring foot with tooled offsets. Exterior of base has vertical middle stage with very flat plane above and rounded groove below; lowest curved face has a narrow groove. Underside has flat lowest face with a narrow then a deep groove to inside; central triangular button with narrow groove around. Small incuse stamp at center of floor, inside rectangular field: ΔⲰ[Ρ]ΟΝ (dotted Ⲱ, Ο, Ν). One very light circular groove immediately around stamp; pair of light grooves marks turning to wall.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Fine fabric with frequent glistening micaceous bits visible in direct sunlight. Much darker slip, originally thick on all surfaces.
- Preservation comment
- One sherd preserves ca. 80% of base, entire floor, and lowest part of wall. Slight, extensive pitting and rare gouging across surface, with large chipping around edges; mostly clean breaks.
