Huntcliff ware
Huntcliff ware or more correctly 'Huntcliff-type' is a type of Romano-British ceramic. It is a distinctive variety of calcite-gritted ware jar with a curved, everted rim with lid-seated groove, made in East Yorkshire from around AD 360 to the 5th century AD. The fabric is black or dark brown and heavily tempered with crushed calcite. The jar forms have hand-made bodies and the rim finished on a potter's wheel. The term Huntcliff-type refers to the report [1] in which this jar was first recognised as a type probably not in production before AD 360.
