I seem to remember someone on Time Team saying that holed pots were ones that had been used as offerings, either to assorted gods or in graves, and they were holed to keep people from taking them to use, or something along that line.

[@patricialenaburg6553]

I had a great time, it's not only a history video with this wild bunch, but a comedy act also. LOL Learn a little, and laugh a little, can't beat that. Thanks Si, and the team.

Thanks so much!

Your bottle brush is actually a sink drain clog cleaner. You put the brush part down a drain and it will grab hair clogs so you can un clog your drains.

Interesting that you find Roman pottery with holes in the bottom. Here in the American southwest, a lot of ancient Native American pottery also have what are called 'kill holes' punctured in the bottoms. It is thought they did so for funerary use (placing over the head of the deceased) and that the hole allowed the soul to pass through.

Steve, that hole was punched out with a ball peen hammer or equivalent. That is why the hole is bigger inside where it and chips of material are blown out like the backside of a bullet impact. The other evidence is the clear 120 degree angles and the hexagon shape. It was perfectly punched out probably to use it for a plant when it wasn’t designed with drainage in mind.

Re : the bendy bottle brush Try your local landlord in your pub , I was a landlord at one time and I was gifted a load of these kind of brushes by the firm that supposedly looked after the cellar and gases , all sorts of sizes and uses that I never found out what they were intended for. They were the sort of thing that went untouched and unloved for years but like most things I wish I had taken them with me now

@Irate Puffin 🔸️THANK YOU🔸️ for mentioning this! Not 20 seconds ago I was discussing this with my husband - retired from the camera business. (And the fact that the selfie stick throws a shadow). We go through this weekly because the invisible selfie stick obsesses me. My husband provides such helpful explanations as "I don't know. Maybe he edits it out." 🤡 "Must be the angle of the stick or something" 🤯 Yeah, thanks Mike. These explanations are very satisfying, and I won't discuss it any more. 😑

The bendy bottle brush thing looks like a brush used for commercial coffee pots used at cafes and restaurants. Here in the states a common company is Bunn that makes these coffee pots. The machines hold water . Each time you make a pot of coffee you add a measure of water and it runs through the machine. Every night your supposed to run the bendy brush thing up through the coffee machine to help keep it clear of hard water build up.

In some cultures, the personal dishes, pots, and cups of a person would be "Struck" a hole or broken. In America, the indigenous people broke mortars, and pots then burned it in a pile. I'm guessing it's some form of that sort of death ritual.
