Metalworking and pottery took place in workshops in the fort’s annexes. Pottery damaged in the kiln (known as ‘wasters’) was thrown away. This discarded spout is from a mortarium, used for grinding food into sauces and paste. Mortaria were made at Trimontium and stamped by the maker. One piece here shows a name abbreviated to EMI.
