?:scopeNote
  • The most typical vessel comprises a large thick rounded rim with short, chunky semi-circular, ridged, handles and a small solid spike. There is shallow horizontal ribbing on the body, which often displays evidence of fettling, perhaps brushing or wiping with a rag, leaving light roughly horizontal striations. Richborough 527 has been divided into four subtypes: 1a, 1b, 2a and 2b (Borgard et alii, 1991; Borgard et al., 2003). Sub-types 1a and 1b (which are dated earlier) are longer and thinner than 2a and 2b. However, the increased diameter of type 2a and b almost doubles the capacity from 15-20 litres in type 1 to around 30 litres in type 2. Sub-type 2b is the shortest type, but it exhibits the greatest diameter, with more of a pear-shape rather than the cylindrical 2a. Two complete examples of sub-type 2a can be seen in the Aeolian Museum on Lipari. The Augst 43 type is very similar to sub-type 2b and Martin-Kilcher (1994: 434) regards it as one of the rarely-found late forms of Richborough 527. The example found at Augst is incomplete and found in late second or third century AD contexts. (en)
