Another small flattened object, about the size of a shilling, made of a white compact vitreous substance. It is very smooth, rounded on one side, but flattened on the other. Looks like a drop of a semi-liquid that had fallen on a smooth floor. In the York Museum, case C, amongst some other Roman antiquities I observed several similar articles, which are referred to in the Handbook as "roundlets of coloured glass, probably to set in brooches, from the railway excavations, 1874-75."
One or two little round bits of a dark slag.
4. Glass.—Three fragments of thick bright-green glass, all irregularly shaped.
5. Leather.—Several strips and chippings of very thin leather.
Fig. 250.—Pottery (2⁄3).
6. Pottery.—A small fragment of Samian ware, only about a square inch, with the glaze nearly worn off, but quite unmistakeable in its character.
Fig. 250 represents a fragment of a small dish with its outline. This vessel was made of a hard tinkling ware, black externally, and of a dull white inside, and measured 31⁄2 inches across its mouth and 3 inches in depth.
