Typology Cam 262
Description Three jars of form C262 from Vertault were on exhibition in Chatillon-sur-Seine Museum in 1991. Several fabrics are represented. One is in a grey wheel-thrown ware, rather lumpy in texture and superficially rather similar in appearance to a vessel from nearby Alesia. The second is in a wheel-thrown coarse orange-brown fabric with traces of a micaceous slip on the upper part of the body. The last is rather finer than the others, with a micaceous wash on the rim and shoulder, but rather unevenly finished on the lower part of the body. Rigby and Freestone (1986,14) note one possible example of a jar in their `Standard Fabric' (our TF2) on display in this museum from Vertault. This is presumably a reference to the third vessel described above, but any such attribution must be considered tentative before the vessels can be examined in more detail.
