Broken Pottery Vessel With Bean Impressions

Date: 200-300 CE

Found: Romano-British Kiln site near Hazelwood during excavations in the 1950s.

While it was still wet, this pot was placed on top of some beans, which left their impression on its base. The beans themselves are long gone, but their shape has been preserved in its base.

The material is ‘Derbyshire Ware’, a type of Romano-British pottery made around Derbyshire and distributed across Britain in the 2nd and 3rd centuries.
