40-85 AD. A Samian bowl, Draggendorf 29 type, with small pedestal foot; body decorated with a band of ovolo egg and dart, below a panel with a running hound and puppy with fence type structure between them; below a panel of reversed S-shapes. 464 grams, 16cm (6 1/4"). Found by a ground worker, installing pipes just off Stonegate, York, Yorkshire; within the boundary of the Legionary Fortress area prior to 2000. Samian ware, also known as Terra Sigillata, was produced in great quantities in factories in Gaul, Germany and Italy. It is mould made table-ware produced from a fine red clay with a glossy surface that was used throughout areas of Roman influence from the late 1st century BC until the early 4th century AD. In Britain the red slip Samian table-ware of Gaul has been found in most Roman forts, towns, settlements, as well as graves. Samian ware was given a typology by Professor Hans Draggendorf, a Baltic German scholar of the nineteenth century, who introduced the first classification system for the pottery. This piece is Draggendorf 29, which has been dated to the years between 40 and 85 AD, thus making this piece one of the earliest from Roman Britain, and dating to the earliest phase of construction for the fortress of Eboracum at York, which was established in 71 AD, and was the provincial capital of Northern Britain during the Roman period. Fair condition, repaired.
